Work In Progress

[bushart]

Hello All,

 

In keeping with sharing of ideas and techniques in this section I thought I'd give updates as my latest painting evolves.

 

Unfortunately I should have had this idea a while ago as it is well under way.

 

If you knew me anything could change from this point as I go along. The idea is a gravel river bed and possibly a dying salmon--maybe a white tail--giving her a last go.

 

Mountains will likely change a bit--I'm not satisfied there yet.

Oh, boy, that's going to be cool. Can't wait to see the progress.

Apologies for the slow update but I finally got back at this one recently.

 

I wanted to clean up the background and get the water to a point I could live with. I tweeked my background Mountains and should be ready to get some or "A" fish in there now.

 

Wish me luck I think I'll need it.

real nice

and cool to see the progress

[bushart]

Thanks--actually as I look at the update I'm thinking that far shore needs a little hilighting as well.

 

Thanks Again

[bushart]

Ok I got back it recently (suffer from a back injury so I paint when it lets me)

 

I did not like those mountains---I "hazed them some"

 

Far shore was crying for a rock shoreline so it's there

 

Put a feeder creek on other side

 

I actually have tried a salmon in different poses but I was'nt happy---my last attempt let gave me an idea so I put the river back together and I think I'm ready now.

Ok on a snowy day I'm thinking artwork.

 

Put the subject in and is just about there---going to shade a bit more--course my wife the art critic thought it should be a sockeye but I fished chinook for too many years---so I probably owe them one.

 

I'm going to put a shadowed fish in deeper water.

 

I'll attach a close-up on another screen

Little more to do but not much

 

 

[bushart]

I think I'm soon complete here---I will probably touch a few small things the camera has showed me but It will not be noticeable.

 

I'm fairly happy with this. I threw a couple buddies under the surface near the subject and adjusted the feeder creek.

 

Again I'll attach a close up.

 

Keep yur line in the water

Great work of art. I use to draw a little but always wished I could paint. I like the fact that you can create your own world. Looks like a great place to fish and relax.

[bushart]

I think that's why I do it---You can picture yourself in the perfect place ---no bugs--big fish--no crowds.

 

Thanks
