DH and I went fishing off the pier again and he was nice enough to catch two fish for me to sketch and study.
The one above is a catfish which we always give to his friend cuz I don't like them. His friend is from St. Louis and thinks they are the greatest fish in the world. I think they are terrible tasting but that's just me.
It was a great fish to do a study on.
Right beneath the fish is the view as we see it going across the lake. It was partly cloudy and warm.
I did all these sketches with a ball point pen. Any mistakes remain where they are and it is very freeing to do a sketch this way
The next fish was a bass. This one goes from the bucket to the cleaning table and then to the frying pan. I do have my likes and dislikes.
A fun evening.
Please excuse any weird looking format here because this is more narrow than I am used to and when it publishes, it gets all out of format.
Somehow, when I go fishing with my DH, he thinks I ought to fish, not draw. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteWild catfish mostly taste like what they eat - mud. Now my words, my grandmother's. However, farmed catfish could pass for flounder - it's mild and not very fishy at all. Try it sometime.
I like it good job.
