Empty Bowls Bowl Shots

[liralen]

Some shots of the bowl...



First the inside, and I really liked how the eye turned out. The body was basically two or three strokes, and then I added the tail and the fins, all done in just orange. Then I swapped to red to add the top of the head and back and then all the cross-hatching and the fin definition with the red. Then just one dot of black for the eye. It still amazes me how little anyone needs to see a 'fish'.



Another along the side, as the tail goes up the side... And then the somewhat silly outside... and it's only as I see it now that I realized I forgot a red dot. *falls over giggling* It's a good thing that made things should NOT be perfect.

That's beautiful! Fish simplicity on the inside, pattern complexity on the outside!

It's the kind of thing you would be happy to find at a bowl of nice warm soup.

I love the fish! Wow!

The missing red dot on the patterned outside (also lovely) reminds me of the story of the magic paintbrush, where if the artist completed the painting it would come to life.
