The Manhattan Fish Project
There's an Illustrators Guild of Irelandgroup show coming up soon (I'll keep you posted). It'll be in the Luan gallery in Athlone to begin with but will then swim around the country. The IGI has done quite a bit of that kind of thing; it works a treat to get the membership known more widely.
I had the presence of mind to film part of the process of making this painting only at the outset -as usual, I then became embroiled in the little world I was creating and forgot about the camera. Still, that makes for a short, easy to view movie. It's only a minute long although the artwork took about twelve hours to complete. There's a bit of lively, upbeat jazz to help you with your viewing, so if you're at work, do turn the volume down!
I painted a complete underpainting in monochrome first, which is a technique that I'm currently teaching in my art class (it's the friendliest and best art class in the entire world!). The method is very popular with my students…
