Painted a little goldfish, about 4x6 inches. Part of a thank you card for a donation toward our classroom fish tank.
Done in watercolor on white tagboard.
Drawn lightly in pencil and completed the painting with watercolor (Crayola). I like to challenge myself to complete projects with the same materials I give my students.

My first post to Lettuce Craft! :heart:

Thanks!
It can be a real challenge. I want to show the kids that they don’t have to have expensive materials to make a great piece. If I can do it, they definitely can! :grin:

I definitely love the idea of simplifying the tools you use in your art. So much can be done with so little. Great job, the illustration is awesome!

How lovely! I think it’s sweet that you made a fishy thank you card for the donation.

It’s always wonderful to see fellow teachers in the crafty world. I’m a MS teacher. There are several other teachers here on LC. Welcome and I look forward to seeing more of your creativity! :slight_smile:

I could easily see your fish in a children’s book. Looks amazing.
