Rainbow Goldfish Sticker Pack

It’s so satisfying seeing these guys all together. I love designing sticker packs, because it’s fun to push the designs while still trying to keep the whole set cohesive. How do you think I did?

These cute little goldfish friends are now available on both Etsy and here on my website.

Telescope Goldfish Sticker

For our final sticker design of the rainbow goldfish sticker pack, here’s a telescope goldfish! These guys always freaked me out a bit when I was a kid, but this particular one was really fun to paint. Those bubbly eyes are just so silly!

Fantail Goldfish Sticker

It feels so good to get back to painting after taking a break to tuft. It’s great how refreshing it is to have two such vastly different media to play with.

I decided to go with the same colour scheme as the common goldfish for this little fantail. I like how they contrast so much in shape with one looking very simple and lithe and the other looking very round and flamboyant.

Ink and Watercolour Tux Cat Portrait

This gorgeous kitty is a commission for one of my very first rainbow portrait clients! She wanted a portrait of her newest kitty in a similar style to her other two which I painted waaaaaay back when I was just learning watercolour and really leaning on ink work.

It was incredibly fun to create details with ink again. I’d really love to go back to exploring incorporating ink as a supporting element in my rainbow portrait, but we’ll see how far it goes.

Common Goldfish Sticker Design

Our sticker pack for May/June is goldfish, as voted on by my lovely supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi! This little friend is a common goldfish. I wanted to really lean into their natural orange-gold colour while still adding a bit of rainbow flare. I’m really pleased with their little fishy smile!

The holofoil version of this little cutie is our Ko-fi exclusive reward for this month. If you’d like the exclusive jumbo, holofoil goldfish, please be sure to sign up for the sticker collector tier over on my Ko-fi page any time this month!

Bernese Mountain Dog Rainbow Portrait

I painted this beautiful Bernese mountain dog as a demo for my latest class on how I select colours for rainbow portraits, especially for animals with multiple colours. It’s so, so, so fun to paint tri coloured animals like this gorgeous pup!
