• Primero fui haciendo el boceto a lápiz grafito de las algas y corales, dejando un espacio para los peces ángeles que siempre están juntos en cardumen o familia, luego fui dándole color al agua con tonalidades azules y verdosas.

• Continuo dándole color al agua del arrecife, marcando las líneas negras resaltantes de los peces, además empecé a dar detalles a las algas y corales con líneas y puntos de colores.

• Detallo los corales con puntos diminutos con la intención de representar la textura de los mismos y la variedad de colores con que los pinto, es para que se vean vivos, también empecé a pintar la arena del arrecife, con la técnica de la aguada con colores como verde, naranja, azules y ocre, dejando que se chorreara la pintura para que se mezclara entre sí, porque quería que re viera la arena y el agua, creando la atmósfera del arrecife...

• Fui oscureciendo la parte de la arena, para dar algunas sombras y crear un contraste entre los peces y el ambiente acuático que los rodea.

• Continuo dando color, punto por punto y con colores contrastantes a mi arrecife de ángeles.

• Aquí intensifiqué más los colores, para dar origen a la ilustración:

A reef of angels.

My friends, the painting that I present today in this illustration, I made it because since I was little, I have always liked fish and I even had fish tanks and I still have baby fish at home, but in reality The fish that always caught my attention are the scalars, also known as angel fish, for this reason I wanted to paint them within a beautiful reef, as follows:

• First I made the graphite pencil sketch of the algae and corals, leaving a space for the angel fish that are always together in a school or family, then I started giving color to the water with blue and greenish tones.

• I continue giving color to the reef water, marking the black lines that highlight the fish, and I also began to give details to the algae and corals with colored lines and dots.

• I detail the corals with tiny dots with the intention of representing their texture and the variety of colors with which I paint them, it is so that they look alive, I also began to paint the sand of the reef, with the gouache technique. colors like green, orange, blue and ocher, letting the paint drip so that it mixed with each other, because I wanted it to revive the sand and water, creating the atmosphere of the reef...

• I darkened the part of the sand, to give some shadows and create a contrast between the fish and the aquatic environment that surrounds them.

• I continue giving color, point by point and with contrasting colors to my reef of angels.

• Here I intensified the colors more, to give rise to the illustration:

A reef of angels.

Aquatic nature is a world very different from ours and incredibly beautiful, what I have known about angel fish is that although they always walk together and move together in their school calmly, they move slowly but always together, at the same time they are very territorial, that is, they do not allow anyone to steal their space or their peace. Anyone who dares to invade their personal space and is not to their liking is attacked incessantly, but As long as they are respected, they show peace and tranquility, within their reef.

I made the illustration remembering how she decorated my fish tank when I was a young girl of 15, so I hope with all my heart that you liked the illustration of the angel reef.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Sincerely:

Angélica García.
