Painted Game Table


Here is the sketch: I actually ended up making the squares 2 1/2 " square. Better proportion


This table will be in an area designated for kids to play in, but still part of the main part of the house, so I didnt want it to be to "Childrens Furniture" in style.

The only colour in the room at the moment is the fabric on a couch, and thats where the colours for this table have been drawn from.



Here is some nice detail developing...


I used a very thin coat of gold , almost just a ''dusting'' of gold, to liven up the dark squares. It also unifies the whole, since the fish have reflective and interference colours on them.



Here is the table completed. Varnished.
I love using interference and metalic glazes on fish, to make them sparkle and look iridescent.
