Here is a painting of the Brook Trout my wife caught at rock lakes. The Brook trout is one of my favorites even though it's not really a trout but a Char. I love the brook trout's intense colors the bright orange/red belly and the dark green almost black back. The Brook trout's yellow spots however pose a challenge when painting it, next time I will use a "maskit" for the spots. I am also not too happy with the head its a little strange but over all its a decent rendering of the fish.

Phillip,
ReplyDeleteLove your work! Janét's fish is beautiful.
I actually have a picture of a 34 lb fish, (I think it's a steel head), my brother caught on 10 lb test from the shore of Umpqua River. He's very proud of it. Maybe someday when I have the dough you could paint it.

Thanks Alice for your kind words. Janet does catch very nice fish.
ReplyDeleteA 34lb steelhead would be huge but definitely possible for the Umpqua. I could paint the steelhead but I would probably need to get bigger water color paper.
