After painting Koi fish from life a few weeks ago, I thought I'd try one from one of a photograph. As luck would have it, I recently visited our zoo and took a bunch of pictures of the Koi swimming through the feeding ponds scattered throughout the park. My daughters would throw them some food and I snapped pictures of them when they came up to eat. Working from the photographs did have the advantage of my subject not moving, but for the colors I had to rely on my past experience of working from life to fill in the missing subtleties that the photographs lacked.
