Sometimes “Painting Sundays” are on Saturdays. As for the subject matter, we never know what the kids are going to choose. We used to have goldfish but never bettas, and we haven’t been around any lately, so we have no idea why they decided to paint these. I guess that’s not the point. They picked critters they were enthusiastic about and had fun bringing them to life on paper.
Matt frisketed the fish to preserve the white of the paper during background washes, but Kelly and Timmy did everything else on their own.
