 | I did some fine spatter with a toothbrush to soften and model the underside of the fish. |
| Then I did some light spatter with dark paint and gesso. I demonstrated a couple of tricks I like to do with spatter in the aforementioned articles. This time I did something different: When the spatter was almost dry, I hit it with the (yes!) spray bottle, which washes out the center, and leaves a delicate little ring. I like the look, don't know why exactly - bubbles maybe? |  |
 | I waited a day to see if there was anything else I wanted to do. It seemed to ask for a couple of details, and I warmed up the background a tad. Thank you for following along, and I hope this demonstration gives a few people some new ideas!
