Yin Yang Koi

Preparing your canvas…

A way to begin

Harmonize your dualities. Use contrasting color palettes for each fish to explore the concept of opposite but complementary forces. Use the character as a playful focus point. Move between broad areas and tiny details so the session feels both expressive and grounded in the present moment.

  1. Notice the movement and small motifs before choosing a base color.
  2. Use a warm palette for one fish, cool for the other.
  3. Emphasize the flow of the water.
  4. Pause at the end and notice the personality your colors brought forward.
