La Jolla 2/11 Missed the YT but made a nice Fish Print
 

of the bycatch.

I caught my Personal Best Calico at 19.5 inches and really fat. I caught it while going for yellow tail with a 6x salas and frozen squid, amazing.

I had recently saw the thread about fish prints and being an artist, I had to try it. Here is my first try..... "Calico Bass 2-11-13"

Close up of the scale detail

Paint the spots next time!


Way cool

Amazing detail:eek:

Great job!

I wonder how a halibut would turn out?????

Thank you guys


"Paint the spots next time!"

great idea, thank you


and a halibut should turn out fine. maybe do it in just black ink or black acrylic

I plan on doing any cool fish I catch

SWEET fish!!! Remember to save some of that green and yellow paint for the target species...
I've bought some paint and cloth...now hoping for an opportunity.

Shelter Cove PAC butt.

paper and paint
 

what kind of paper and paint do you use?

I used acrylic paint (washes off with water) and a painted white canvas.

Today I saw an ad for Michaels for the paint I bought last night, on sale for $1.99 for a Large tube, reg $3.99 for two days only..... I went out and bought 16 more tubes to be ready for this spring. Now I just need to find a roll of painted white canvas, maybe Blick art store.

That Halibut print is awesome, now I wish I would have done mine.

Toad largemouth. :D

So I talked with my wife .....
 

.... about my fish print, which she really likes. I already sell art at some of the local art shows like Artwalk in San Diego. I am inspired (by my first attempt) to do a whole series of fish prints that I will sell as cards and prints.

So NOW, I can tell my wife that I NEED to go to work, and go out fishing :D

Wow this worked out well .........

very, very cool.... sure beats "taxidermy".

Hey Chris, how about putting these on T-shirts? I like the ideas suggested! My drawing skills are about the level of a 3-year old, and I think I could do this! Very nice! Now let's go catch some fish too big for a t-shirt!

Thanks Cliff. Ya I was thinking of doing a Tee Shirt line as well, I just need to find a good printer that prints wholesale. I need more art first.

So I went to Blick today a bought a roll of 73 inch x 18 feet primed white med canvas, enough to do a small whale ..... ;) Cost was $100 less a 40% off coupon making it $64. Bought more Acrylic today at 1.99 ea, now I have 26 tubes of paint and a lot of canvas. I'm Ready.


Time to go fishing .....

Lets catch a YT or WSB on Friday and get to painting.....

See you Friday Morning ......

Always learning something cool here!!!!!!

Question........ Isnt that what they did to Jesus? :Angel_anim:

It's a Framer!
