some fish art

somosomo · 04/03/2011, 07:29 AM

I threw these up on the reef fish forum just to see what people thought and figured I would post these here too. They are some quick water color sketches for a big painting that hasnt happened yet. Thanks for looking

some of you might have seen this before ..and mods if they violate the rules..sorry just showing art not trying to influence anyone

I like the detail you put into each one of them. I've always found working with water colors to be a pain. Very Nice Work!

somosomo · 04/03/2011, 04:46 PM

thanks man ..these were my first time using water colors..usually i mess with acrylics or do woodblock prints

fishinizku · 04/04/2011, 01:44 AM

Excellent! I love them

CzarQwerty · 04/04/2011, 08:42 AM

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the paintings. Hey, I see you are in Lock Haven! I'm in Woolrich. Nice to know there are fellow reefers in our rural area.
I like the second beyond the reef painting. I really enjoy that store.

I knew there had to be someone else out here...just never met anyone yet
My tank is recovering from a heater incident at the moment..when things get better maybe we can swap some frags

Very nice! What is the size of the regal and flasher wrasse?

somosomo · 04/20/2011, 05:02 PM

They are all done on either 11 x 17 or 12 x 18. I cannot remember which at the moment.

mollymonticello · 04/27/2011, 05:45 PM

These are amazing! Greg showed us the lionfish ones on another forum, they are great.

Did 8 years of art in highschool, haven't done much with it in college but these are AMAZING man, i always hated working with water color. Was always more of a pen and ink and clay

somosomo · 06/16/2011, 06:01 AM

Thanks man,
I just started with watercolor doing these. It just seems natural to paint fish with watercolors.
I have done a lot of acrylic and screen and woodblock prints. I have a Bachelors and a Masters in Art and the teaching certificate to go along with it. Most of what I do now is photography.
