Medium
Painting - Colour Pencil
Description
This original colour pencil rendering is the second in delightful series inspired by the photography of my longtime friend, Jo and our recent discussion about my love for koi ponds. She agreed to search her photography archives of some 15,000+ captures from her many travels. I am editing details that interest me and rendering them thru Laurelland for my post Christmas kitchen nook. I love the movement, the translucence of the glorious “Fish Tangle” and the almost neon-electric colours and patterns caused by Light dancing with ALL of IT! The frenzied darting of Koi beneath the rocky shade and light patterns has stirred their faces to a quasi alien-quasi prehistoric LOOK. This is SO different from the calm, glide of the previous study. Back to the photographs to study other moods and personality subtleties of these Colourful carp!...and to research more about the mesmerizing fish. And so, here it is:
Definition of koi. : a carp (Cyprinus carpio) bred especially in Japan for large size and a variety of colors and often stocked in ornamental ponds.
NOTE: Within the controversial distinction of CP “drawing” or “painting” lies artist definition. My definition: when the surface is ENTIRELY burnished, I classify as a Painting; when any exposed Paper Is part of the composition or background, I classify as a drawing. I render both.
