Bluefish
This Bluefish was caught in Long Island Sound, CT. The Bluefish itself was 29 inches long. The actual piece of rice paper is 38” x 19.5”. This original piece was done on rice paper and then mounted onto watercolor paper. I used the Gyotaku print making method to create this piece. Gyotaku is an ancient Japanese print making method, where ink is directly applied to a fish, then rice paper or cloth is laid over it and pressed to show all the intricacies and anatomical beauty of the fish. Just for everyone to know this process is very difficult and time consuming, the first 20 to 50 prints do not come out properly. This original piece is the best print I obtained from this bluefish.
