Painting – Fish (eye) Underwater
FishEye makes yet another appearance in one of my paintings. This painting was started about a year ago, before I moved. It started as a quick sketch and turned into a larger piece (16″ x 20″). While sketching and outlining the drawing, I was undecided on the size of the “fish eye”. I kept going back and forth on the canvas, and finally decided to make it much smaller than the original sketch. For this painting I wanted to use a single dominant color instead of using various colors. I still wanted to make it bright, but keep it within one color range. The final piece came out ok. I think it could have used other colors, but I’m still happy with the results. (more…)
Painting – Fish Eye (one)
This is my favorite object. I call it Fish Eye. I’ve done many drawings and sketches of it. This is the first time I put the Fish Eye on canvas and oil paint. I usually sketch it then outline it and fill it with ink. One of my friends got a tattoo of it the back of her neck. I will ask her for a picture when I see her. The theme of Fish Eye is always underwater, sometimes swimming in parallel with other Fish Eyes. On this painting I focused on the objects, the movement, and the shadows. I’m pretty happy with this one. I think I’m getting better at this. (more…)
