So I sat down tonight to paint a lovely, tasteful female nude ACEO in watercolor and something quite unexpected happened.
...it all started with a not-very-diluted wash of Quinacridone Burnt Orange on the back of the thighs...
before I knew what was happening, I somehow ended up painting scales and a tailfin on my model!
Does this ever happen to you?

She's great Christy! Great use of that orange.... i have it but i never break it out.... maybe i should.
thanks Manon - i love QBO, and use it with my portraits a lot. Very versatile, and it will also warm up Alizarin Crimson nicely without losing any transparency.
lovely Christy..
what a delightful painting and composition :)
hard to imagine this beauty with legs :)
Wow I don't remember seeing this one before, she is beautiful!
thank you Pam!
she's sold, off on a journey around the world somewhere...
but I should list a print of her in my shop.
Your welcome! Congrats!
