Rusty Snapper Lure Painting
This is withal another fishing lure find from my old tackle box. This onetime snapper lure has much rust on it which is 1 of the reason I was interested in painting it in the first place.
I've mentioned numerous times in previous posts how nearly of the shiny lures simply reflect the artist (me) in their mirror-like finish which can pose somewhat of a compositional problem. This lure did no such matter however.
Upon closer test I noticed this lure had a fish-like resemblance etched into the side of it. I'chiliad not sure whether they stamped this design into the metal or whether they scratched it out… perhaps even cast it.
Only at that place is an eye, the markings of a fish's gill and a pattern of scales going down the side of the lure. What was interesting was the way the edge of this pattern got picked upward by the light source every so oftentimes. The fish design would disappear into the rust then emerge when the metal was shiny plenty and when that specific angle of the blueprint-border was very much tangent to the light source.
With a very neutral palette and the occasional use of some earth colors I worked my way through this painting with some very minor brushes. Much of information technology was painted with 0 and below. Yep we're talking about 2×0 and 3×0 (double zero and triple zero brushes)!
You tin probably encounter some of the underpainting coming through. I worked in a very traditional fashion for this 1… I painted on top of a raw umber grisaille.
Bask!
