I start with a wash of watered down acrylic paint . Hue of blue at the top fading to three quarters of the canvas a orange. I then draw the shape of the leaping fish. |
More details are painted of the fish and a double blade lure is added . Also more blue and splash shapes are painted around the fish shape. |
I add more water detail including a shape of a princecraft boat. |
Splash details are added to the fish. More accurate detail is added to the boat. I've painted a distant shoreline in the background. |
Finished detail of the completed painting. I tried to express the dynamic action of the fish leaping and the moment in time when the water plashing forcefully |
