Under the Sea

Linda Callaghan

Under the Sea

30×40cm Watercolour on Canson 300 gsm of a water wonderland. Played around with my watercolours just dropping the paint on creating a wet in wet background. The stunning colours inspired me to paint an imaginative under the sea scene and I truly hope this brightens your day!

Plants and fish live under the sea…
showing off their colours and shapes for free
A water wonderland, a treat for the eye
so much to see as the fish swim by

One for the children….

    Linda love this as I enjoy doing the Great Barrier Reef. This is bright and bubbley and full of life. A few years back I did something similar. i was playing around with an airbrush. I looked like the reef so added fish and coral and put a large price on it and bingo it sold. So when I looked at your wonderful free flowing painting it reminded me straight away. Very nice…...Sandy

  • Linda Callaghan replied

    thank you so very much Sandy…there is hope for me yet then! lol….I did not know what was going to come out of it until I took at look at the pattern the colours made..dreamed up the plants etc. ...how wonderful that you sold yours…what medium was it?
