Water media, Koi, "Red Koi" by Hawaii artist Arlene G. Woo

As you may notice, I like to paint koi.  There is something about the way they glide through the water that relaxes me.  This piece actually has a bit of collage.  It's small - 9x7.5" but it is striking.

Watercolor/Collage, "Koi Collage", Arlene G. Woo, Hawaii Artist

Being named "Artist of the Month" by the National Pond Service was good motivation to paint another koi painting.  This time I added hand-dyed paper to suggest water over the bodies of the koi.  The image is 15"x20" -- $400 unmatted, unframed.  Contact me:  Arlene G. Woo 

Watercolor, Koi painting, Limpopo, Hawaii Artist, Arlene G. Woo

Painting on Yupo can be lots of fun as long as you are willing "to go with the flow."  I think Yupo is perfect for painting koi because the fish as in constant movement.  These particular koi are called butterfly koi because of their long fins and tails.  14"x21.75". Limpopo was juried into the Hawaii Watercolor Society Show 2015 by Judge Nicholas Simmons.

Kissing Koi, Acrylic on Canvas, Hawaii Artist, Arlene G. Woo

There is something about koi that attracts me:  I think it's their ease in their environment.  Some of these are Butterfly Koi from by friend Sheila's pond.  I must admit this painting took a while -- not as fast as watercolor on Yupo, but I'm happy with the result.  $1200 + shipping.  Let me know what you think:

Koi Pond, watercolor on Yupo

Painting on Yupo is an interesting challenge:  you cannot layer, at least not very easily. However, it is great for getting a watery look.  I was inspired by the koi pond at my granddaughters' school. The image is 10"x14" and may be purchased for $280 through PayPal.  contact me: Arlene G. Woo
