This is based on Jehan Chan's carps in the koi pond. The Chinese believe that 9 fish swimming in the water is a symbol of fortune - supposed to bring you business and money luck!
Here's a view of the development of this piece. You can see that the background , ie, water, then leaves and finally the fish gets painted first. Finally the fine details of the fish fills in, lastly the "overlay" effects of the fish submerged in waters!
Now lets see if you can identify which one is the orginal one (in H2O colour) and which one is the replicate on Oil.
