That looks really good Meredith! I certainly can't paint like that at all.

Aww, thanks! I think it looks like a little kid painted it 
Does anyone know of any kind of craft paint that is less shiny?
I used acrylics.

I'm not interested in the materials, I'm interested in the styles and skills you displayed. I noticed your brushstrokes are similar to that of Rembrant. And you say you're not a painter.

that looks awesome...what an accomplishment! I can draw a stick figure, I don't think the fish would appreciate looking at my stick figure all day

Meredith, I will add to the other compliments - your painting is amazing! I can (or could, lol) draw pretty well, but I never accomplished the blending of paints for color/shadow/highlight areas all that well. I think you would enjoy some art classes if you haven't taken any already.

Yup! Great color and creativity. I myself have as much creativity as a door knob. Nice pix for the fishy friends to admire.
