Oil on mdf board, 24 x 17cm. Practice run to paint foil. True anecdote: After thawing the fish I forgot about it. 2 days later it stank. I grilled it and forgot about it again. 2days later, despite the pungent atmosphere, I managed to paint it for 30 mins. Then threw it out and finshed it from a photo. I think the sketch, the room, and all nearby suffered as a consequence. Facit: If your going to paint fish do so while its fresh. Then eat it!
