Pearl (Codfish Project) as of May 4, 2019


Pearl is the wooden codfish cutout that I am decorating for the Codfish Auction, a fundraiser for Marblehead Festival of Art.  I am going to decorate my codfish with (painted) strings of pearls.  Yesterday I drew a rough scaffolding on my fish.  Today I added the pearls.  I used pencil over gesso, a horrible combination because the graphite smears.  So I cleaned it up with a little more gesso.  I will need to make corrections, but I am happy with the pattern.  I am still deciding on the color scheme, considering perwinkle blue with irridescent white pearls (maybe a touch of pink) and gold outline.  To be continued. . . .
