That is cool! My aunt used to paint fish but she would do it all in tiny ink dots.

Do you sell your work?

Regards

I have sold some. I was a woodcarver, primarily. These are fun and a lot faster. I do different techniques, but the tiny dot thing works well for fish. This is a watercolor.

Interesting as she used to turn wood as well, mostly funky bowls from knots. I can remember having to drive her out in my teens to collect big stumps from burns so she could make her bowls.

Small world.

Haha! Pretty cool! Painting is more of just relaxing fun. Woodcarving takes me a very long time. I got pretty good at it till life got in the way...

I have a few laying around, but I think I already posted them! Been a few years though. I'll put a few up when I get some done. Deer season is pretty soon, so I'll probably be doing that for a while. I'm glad you like them!

Wifey paints too. Self taught. Began with acrylics and is working on watercolors. There’s a lady in FL with a whole wall of her bird pics she sold on eBay. Flowers, most birds, and even fish she can do, but what she does to a duck ain’t pretty……

Coolio.

I find it hard to draw a straight line, even when I have a straightedge to help.

Not yet. I've caught a few, but not many. I was kinda wondering what to do next. Probably not a bad idea.

Thanks. Honestly, there is so much variation in brookies you just kinda pick one!

Beautiful. The only thing I can paint is the house, and poorly at that.

Ha! I can't paint a house, wall, or anything like that. Drives me crazy!
