Fall Fly Fishing Original oil painting by Karen Tarlton

Oil

Available for purchase and one of my favorite fisherman paintings right now.  I enjoyed the play of warm and cool colors and the whole time I painted this I was remembering fishing with my Uncle whom I just adore!  He's a great fisherman.

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

This is a sweet little gem of a painting with all my favorite fall colors. Deep cad reds and hits of teal blue make it vibrant and balanced. I blended most of my colors right on the canvas and then repeat with many layers of knifework so it has wonderful textures, and finished with some painterly brushwork for a bit of detail. I hope you enjoy this peaceful scene!

PAINTING:
I began this composition slowly from some old photos I took of my Uncle Fishing along the Truckee River near our house in Floriston, a small town in California where I grew up. I drew with a brush and cobalt blue, then adding dark purples and winsor greens for shadowed areas. When the paint is thinned it dries quickly and then I have my underpainting complete. The fun part is laying it thick with the knife, in bright blues and greens and rich frosting-like white highlights.

INSPIRATION:
I always loved watching fly fishing. I'm not so good at it myself, but I used to sit and sketch while my uncle fished in the the summers of my youth. Seems like a really long time ago.
