Here is my Cod project as it looked on Aprill 22. This is for the annual Cod Auction to raise money for Marblehead Festival of Art. I had already sketched my design onto the gessoed wooden form, using pencil. It was time to start painting. There were a lot of rational ways to begin, but I went directly to the flowers because I wanted to try my idea of painting them a kind of rose gold color, instead of the brown seen on the markings of the actual species, Flowering Cod. So I mixed some acrylic metallic gold with some pink. This wasn't the final color, but close enough to convince me that my idea would work.
