Taking Painting Through Prosek a little further

My buddy Kevin wanted me to try painting a Shenandoah Brookie for him "Prosek Style." Meaning, he wanted the swatch of color and pattern without the fins and such. That is good, because I can't paint the other bits of the fish.

Using Prosek's Labrador Brook Trout as a guide along with the picture from Kevin, I came up with a version I like. Hope you do too!





If you read the post before this, you'll know I made a CD and put it on CDbaby. Well guess what? It is also on Spotify and iTunes. I'm very impressed with how quick that all happened. If you get a chance, go have a listen. Search "David Nash Dormroom Sessions"and you should find it. It was pretty fun to put together. Spotify works a bit like pandora, so you don't have to pay to listen as opposed to iTunes and CDbaby which will make you buy it to hear the entire thing. iTunes also has longer song previews than CDbaby.

  1. Th painting is very nice... although I'm not sure I believe the "I can't paint the other bits of the fish" part. It's real easy, you just keep going with that pattern until reach the edges of a trout shape... of course there are some eyes and fin patterns that require a little more detail... but I'm sure you can do it. I think you should at least try and see how it turns out. If you're not happy with it you don't have to share.
