Surrounding the turtle, you will find a bustling coral reef ecosystem, complete with textured sea grass, starfish in various shades of pink and orange, and intricately detailed fish with yellow bodies and striped patterns.

What truly sets "Colorful Journey" apart is the delicate and skillful use of hand-cut paper, watercolor, and gouache. These techniques bring the artwork to life, creating a sense of depth and realism that is truly breathtaking. The blend of vibrant and pastel colors adds to the lively and vibrant depiction of oceanic life, making it a true feast for the eyes.
