I wasn't really sure if this study should upload from my idea, to paint a perfect fishing spot but I thought you could decide for yourself if you like it. It's painted a little rougher than usual, but it had to be enough for this implementation.This is oil on very simple copy paper.. no liquids and no background paint. Simply white. I just wanted to try the idea before I paint it on canvas and try another technique for the background. The other story was whether I am able to paint an arapaima that looks good. I've always been fascinated by this big ,sensational ,freshwater predatory fish.As I know, the biggest ever.That is now the result of my idea of the perfect fishing spot .As always fresh from 30 minutes ago.
Copy paper, DIN A4 ( 21 x 29,7 cm ) oils, time 3 hours
The pictures below, close up and original Arapaima
Hey Cold , Good evening from germany . Glad you like it. Wanted to try it in advance. The correct version will come soon 👍🏼🇩🇪
I love this scene! The different green tones are lovely and it reminds me of a scene coming from the south, a swamp vibe. That predator is def the star of this compo even tho it’s not right in your face. Super work my friend! 🤩😍🇩🇪
Hey my friend, thank you so much and im glad you like it . It's still quite rough but on canvas I'll work it out more, I hope I have the time soon 👍🏼🇩🇪
Very cool and looking forward to seeing what you put on the canvas Dirk!👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
Hey bro, let's see what becomes of it, but at least I now have more security for the start and an idea where I can start👍🏼🇩🇪🇺🇸
that’s original use of those colours
Love the spotlight on the target
Good evening from germany,Pipbob. Thank you very much 👍🏼🇩🇪
I love it! Reminds me of Monet in a swamp
Hey Felix, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great comment. I'll paint it on the canvas these days 👍🏼🇩🇪
I love hearing the creative thoughts artists have as they paint. Sort of behind the scenes of the painting. Very cool Dirk and I love the fishing spot! :)
Good evening from germany,Daniel . I am fascinated by fly fishing and extreme fishing in special places on super fish. I've seen so many documentaries and thought why not try to portray it as a painting. I'm trying to make the presentation even more precise, so only copy paper but soon on canvas. Thank you very much for your support and comments👍🏼🇩🇪
Reminds me on some Bill Alexander scene. Wel done!
Hi Tom , das war sicherlich im Unterbewusstsein mit dabei . Das ich stark von Bill beeinflusst bin ist so und auch okay. Letzendlich ist es nur das ich ab und zu was ausprobieren will um weiterzukommen und deswegen auch erstmal nur auf Papier . Was ich dazu sagen kann ist ,das der eigentliche Regenwald mehr mit der Technik von Len Hend .zu tun hat .zumindest habe ich darauf aufgebaut. Thank you for your comment. 👍🏼🇩🇪🇦🇹
