Sketching Cecelia (As of Apr. 8, 2017)


This is a sketch for the wooden codfish I am decorating for the Marblehead Festival of the Arts. This is my third year participating. About 50 local artists will each decorate a wooden codfish, to be displayed in Marblehead and then auctioned off to benefit Marblehead Festival of the Arts. This year, my idea is to create a codfish covered in scales: musical scales. I decided to name this fish Cecelia because I plan to use C scales. Instead of starting work right on the wooden cutout, I am planning out my design on paper.  I did a lot of measuring and fiddling around with strips of paper to get this far.  And the sketch is still rough, but I think the idea will work.  If you want to get an idea of where this is going, follow this link to see "Bella Bacalhau," last year's entry: https://www.flickr.com/photos/randiart/26803421380/
