I’ve wrestled a few short painting sessions from the clutches of December and this is where the painting is currently at…
Although this month has been much less intense than the past 3, I’m still finding lots of ways to keep myself busy! The progress since my last posting on December 9 has been pretty slow. I’m trying to build the fish up with incremental layers of translucent and transparent glazes to get the appearance of the roiling mass of Koi. The various colors of the fish and how they appear both above and below the water means much studying of the photos and digging back through my memories from when I took them. I enjoy this process, but it is extremely slow – I hope you’re not getting bored with this. One more post and I’ll wrap these guys up… I promise!
Defining the fish with areas of dark…
Finding more shapes… with translucent glazes.
