Singing Fish or painting step-by-step

I am receiving many emails and many comments on Facebook about my style and technique.
I am very grateful for all for the interest in my work, as it supports me. 
Thank you my friends!

And in case you are curious...
I will tell you about about this series and how I worked on it. 
Well… 
I wanted to make a series of paintings of the same size and all in one technique - "BigFish." 
I thought of 14 paintings. Before I work I usually prepare my canvases or cardboards myself. 
For this series I chose cardboard and primed them, preparing them for nearly two weeks. 
On the top of each piece cardboard are several layers - each layer is polished and primed. 
This is a long process...
In addition, at I went to the aquarium in Moscow and to the Moscow Zoo. I looked at all of the fish to get some ideas. :)

All of the paintings in this series were created in one sitting. 
The time it takes to complete each work varies. Usually, it takes 8-9 hours. 
This is an explosion of energy for me. And after the painting is completed I just lie there for a little while :)


So here is today's new picture:
It created today...

I hope that you will be interested and… thank you again friends!
