Glass Fish


Glass is notoriously difficult to draw. I've made a has of it, I think but th image does look "see through" and you can see the base is a base.

Tangentally, how do you draw something that is see through. Isn't that impossible? How do you draw invisible?

In any event - here's the fish. Aquamarine Blue and Burnt Sienna - two of the most useful colours in my pallet and two of my favourites.

Drawing is hard. Watercolour near impossible. I lack control and the precision to convert what's in front of my eye via my brain down through my hand onto the page. Writing is easier. Maybe ... or maybe I just have more practice so it feels like I have more control.

I did a race yesterday and have not recorded the rich details yet. I feel this pressure like a headache ... I must write it all down before I forget.
