Anglesey Sea Bass Duo Gyotaku

Anglesey Sea Bass Duo GyotakuThis bass was caught on a line by a local fisherman here in North Wales. It was caught on the Menai Stait. Bass are my favourite fish to print the definition you get on the scales is wonderful. Whereas most Gyotaku are made to record a fisherman's catch, I combine my experience as an oil painter and create Gyotaku that are more expressive using colour in a less conventional way. Here I have used the same fish, printing it first on one side then
