Detail of Codfish Project as of May 7, 2015

Here is a closeup of my codfish project as it looked on May 7, 2015. (I am decorating a wooden codfish cutout for the Marblehead Arts Fest.) In this view, you can see the markings of the fish and gold accents I added. I used a small piece of netting and gold paint to simulate the pattern of scales. I dipped the netting in the paint, then made a little print by putting it on the surface of the fish and rolling a pencil over it. That worked, but sometimes left only a partial print, but I used a brush to add the "missing" marks.
