"Oh, this is really satisfying... I'm enjoying it a lot." I loved hearing you say that! Sometimes it's easy to forget that you are getting joy out of this as well. There are some content creators that just seem to be going through the motions in order to get another video out to their subscribers, and I'm sure it can become a pressure like that which could steal your joy. So it really warmed my heart to hear your own enjoyment of the process and outcomes. You are appreciated far more than you realize, and your efforts bring such joy to others, myself included. Thank you for all you do for us!!! You are truly a gem!!!

It's a keeper! Beautiful Harriet. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Yay! I can't wait to try this. My dad loves fishing and I think painting something like this for him would make a great gift.

What fun that was to even watch you paint this! I have koi in a pond and I love to paint them. They all have very different colors from each other, and even their faces have their own look. You gave me some great ideas to help me to get better at this. Thank you!

I never thought I liked fish. What a surprise to watch this and realize I can’t wait to try painting one! Thanks for this tutorial!

My son-in-law loves to fish.(catch & release) This will make a wonderful card for him. Thank you for sharing your talent! ❤️

Fish have such a wonderful shape. I will definitely give this a go.

[pierremiriam]

Your fish looks so beautiful and interesting especially those tiny little spots you added at the end. Appreciate very much your way of teaching.

I love the way this turned out! I have someone that just asked me to paint a crappie fish for him. I have watched this a few times. I’m not certain how much paint to water ratio is being used. I haven’t tried this yet but I can imagine me having trouble with the scales blending nicely like yours. My friend wants me to paint this fish on a piece of slate. I think by using watercolor grounds I may be able to do it. I really love the way your fish looks.

Thank you Harriet! The skill of having enough wateron the paper when you add more pigment of another color to get the right "bleed" ! Loved this exercise! Painted two! :0) Practice!

[kimhurley]

Harriet, I have watched several of your vides now and THIS, by far, is my favorite!!! Thank you for great help and enthusiasm. We appreciate you out here from across the pond!!!

[kimharbaugh]

Wow, that was fantastic, new techniques for me, loved it and you can never go wrong with a little paint splatter 💕💕💕

[margaretdugdale]

Thank you. This was so enjoyable and helpful, and so relaxing listening to your voice.

[marciahansford]

hello Harriet, I have successfully painted this fish following your tutorial(twice), but I added some metallic gold to the fins and silver metallic to the scales. I’ve turned it into a birthday card.Thank you. I also have your book which I’ve only begun to work thru.❤

[Silvercowboyhat]

Really appreciate your drawing instructions.

[catherinehull]

Loved this, so nice and relaxing, encouraged me to try this for a card for my husband who loves to fish. Also loved Crumble's input 🙂
