I actually drew these on Monday but I only got round to photographing them on Tuesday. I did three drawings of fish on my black canvases. The one you see here is the first one I drew. This drawing was actually done from three reference photos. The fish at the top and the bottom, which are disappearing off the page, were done from.one reference photo, and the other two were from two other separate reference photos. I drew them in pencil first, and then I went over them with the white gel pen so that they would stand out better. Then I went onto the next drawing which is of only one fish. He's a fatter fish. Maybe I don't mean fatter, maybe I mean flatter. Anyway he's orange and white. I did the same agaIn, I drew him in pencil first and then went over it in the white gel pen. Then I went onto the third fish painting, which is of two fish, more elaborate with fanning out tails. There is also a double line at the top to represent the sea level, or maybe they are in a fish tank or something, I don't know. I drew them in pencil first and then went over them with the white gel pen again. I don't know what these fish are called, except I think most of the ones above are carp or coy or something? Anyway those are the fish drawings I've done ready to paint on Thursday. I've got to do a little bit to the Abbey Ruins first, just to finish it off. I don't know if I'll get round to doing all the fish paintings on Thursday but I'll definitely start on one of them. I'm going to be using the florescent paint that came with the black canvases. I'm going to paint one of the mini canvases black again to practice on. I don't know what the florescent paints are like yet. So, that's what I'm doing on Thursday. Have you lot got any plans for the rest of the week? I hope you are all well. Have a great night.

@sharonelton The magazines I buy in Italy costs exactly the DOUBLE here in Switzerland, this is why I cross the border, that is not even 2 miles from home. Have a nice day you too.

@LadyDuck Oh, wow! Do you know why they would cost double in Switzerland? That sounds a bit excessive! No wonder you go to Italy to get them. Here in the UK magazines have a set price on them and no-one can sell them for more than the set price.

Thank you very much. I hope so. I hope you enjoy your grocery shopping and your trip to Italy to get your magazines. I think I've asked this before, but why do you have to go to Italy to get your magazines? I hope you are well. Have a nice day.

@sharonelton I must say that I am tired after doing all the online classes. But it is better than not having a job.

They're looking good so far. Against a black backdrop, they should look amazing when you finish.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you think so. I was hoping to do a kind of sea background. I'm sure I've got a demonstration in one of my art magazines but I can't find it.
