Aww he's so cute ! 
I like that you used gold leaf on it, it must look even better in person. I've never experimented with it but have always wanted to. You should do one with more than one goldfish.

Gold leaf is super fun and not that difficult to learn how to use. I recommend it! I'm not using actual gold leaf, just gold colored metal leaf. So if you don't want to buy the real expensive stuff, don't worry, gold-looking leaf works just great.  
I'm planning on doing some larger, more complicated paintings, so stay tuned!
