PEACOCK GROUPER Cephalopholis argus ( NOT A PHOTOGRAPH OR PHOTOMANIP)by DilettantO
Digital painting created using Corel Painter v X for a WWF First Day Cover envelope for Aitutaki. Painting spots on fish (or anything else for that matter) used to be a nightmare, before I ‘went digital’…Even then, for a while it was still difficult, but then I came up with a relatively easy way of doing them…still laborious, but at least doable. How? It’s all to do with ‘layers’…and patience…or is it ‘obsessive compulsion’?
Is striving for perfection now known as obsessive compulsion ? Great work Owen !
When it comes to painting every single feather on a bird, every single dot on a fish, or every single scale on a reptile…for artwork destined to become a STAMP, I think so, don’t you, Trish?
