"Coelacanths"




24" x 36". gouache, on canvas.

A quick post up, while I'm on campus.

I'm not used to working so large, especially compared to the other fish paintings, which are like almost five times smaller. This took a week to make. The last time I painted on canvas was over three years ago, and the time before that was four years earlier. It's not something I'm that familiar with. I would rather paint on a hard surface, than springy canvas. But it wasn't so bad, I guess. It's cheaper than wood panel!
