hi darren lil tips for the waves- try adding whitchazel to your blue to lay the softer shades in first ( work light to dark in your colours to) also if you need to outline a ref line for the waves do that in a blue also, some mite dis agree with the next part lol but colour on the koi -to get nice blends or tranitions through the colours dont clean them up inbetween colours so if u want a orage an red koi lay the red in first then use yellow and mix in the tip to get the orage and youl get real soft blend of colours :thumbsup:
