Water Lily Pads and Koi

 

This is another painting on mineral paper.   I think I took the reference photo at the National Arboretum.  I used Caran D'Arche Neocolor watersoluable wax pastels for the lily pads and the koi and then did the water with water color.  Because the paper is so slick, the water really flooded and looks like water.  

I'm planning on doing a couple of paintings more on mineral paper....it is fun to use, but I will probably go back to regular watercolor paper soon.
