Last Post - Chum Bye
This is my last post of this year 2008. I have decided not to paint in the rest of the year. I will concentrate on another thing - writing. Thank you for the visit! See you next year! (For those people that I owe you paintings, I will finished them! : )) By the way, feel free to download any of paintings here, use them whatever you want... if you like it, it's yours! (Just noted the illustration is from this website)
Fly tying material...
I love them too... the flight, the feather, the meat, and the spirit... all of them!
processing some work (unfinished)
I start to illustrate native trout speices that I experienced in the past. either from a real catch or from a story telling from friends. Before I get into the deatil illustration process, I alway like to do some quick sketch. This give me some idea what is the special personality I am illustrating... try to capture "the feel"... here is some quick sketch of iwana (a native Japanese trout). I may finish them up later... : )
Pastel Fish - Cutthroat Trout 6x8 (Gone)
I like to try Pastel is because people say they are somehow similar to the oil painting... you can add a lot of layers on top of each other...maybe... I never done the oil, so I really don't know... So far it looks good in the realistic approach... I am thinking to use pastel do some more "wild" impressionism stuff... will see how things turn out... : )
Grayling sketch
a bit sloppy work...but I kind of start to feel grayling : ) will do a more detailed work later...
ATA - Brown Trout
ATA stand for "A Trout A day"? maybe... : P maybe "A week"...Anyway, I was testing drive this new paper while I was doing bird feeder watching this morning... The texture is a little bit "slippery" than the regular Canson drawing paper. But the 140 lb 's rigid watercolor really have it value, especially if I decide to wash in some color later... I would say... the test PASSED! I love it! : )
