How it’s Made

This painting appears to be created using acrylic paint on either canvas or a sturdy paper surface. Here's a step-by-step description of how it may have been made:

  1. Base Layer: The artist likely started by applying a light base layer of color (perhaps blue or white) to create the background for the water. Broad brushstrokes and blending techniques give the impression of depth and motion in the pond.

  2. Layering Colors: Once the base dried, the artist used layering to add textures and patterns. Swirling strokes of white and various shades of blue mimic the natural movement of water. This technique creates a dreamy, flowing effect.

  3. Details of Koi Fish: The koi fish were probably painted next, starting with the golden yellow and orange tones for their bodies. Fine brushes were used to create the intricate details of their elongated fins and tails, which are highlighted with white and subtle gray shading for texture and flow.

  4. Lily Pads and Flowers: The green lily pads were added on top, using circular brushwork to achieve a natural appearance. The flowers, in soft pink tones, were likely painted using smaller brushes with short, precise strokes to create the delicate petals.

  5. Highlights and Depth: White highlights and dots were strategically added to represent water droplets, light reflections, and bubbles. These accents enhance the realism and bring a dynamic quality to the scene.

  6. Finishing Touches: The artist would have stepped back to refine details, ensuring the composition was balanced. The vibrant colors and movement of the koi fish contrast beautifully with the calmer elements of the pond.

The combination of loose, expressive brushstrokes for the background and precise detailing for the koi fish and flowers creates a harmonious blend of texture and realism.
