Also, it's my first horizontal painting in a while, I have missed that format, I think I should do more of them as well as go back to custom shaped pieces as well.

Below is the beginning of the painting. I actually liked the drawing as it was, with loose pencil strokes, so I kept that feel in the fish with the pencil marks coming through. The paint was just used to add vibrant color. That is my favorite way of working, using a combination of pencil and paint. 
I had a lot of fun working on this piece, I think I want to expand on this theme even more.
