How to make a clay Fish
@
@@Turin hotelsWhat is a clay fish ?

A clay fish is a clay transformed and colored into a fish replica. As I make and brush paint by my hand without using a plaster molding or an airbrush, it takes quite some time and labor. Being a supervisor of a fishing area and so familiar with trouts, I have only released the artworks of trouts as of yet. I, however, am willing to challenge other fish as well if I get enough materials. I usually make a clay fish by looking at photos or a real thing. As I paint the face and scale of the fish with minute care, I'm confident that the tone of a clear color of the trouts are delicately expressed. You will be convinced if you see the actual works, not photos or pictures.

If you chance to come by the Lake Higashiyama Fishing Area,
Please kindly stop by my place.

The model of the fish clay here is the "great lake trout" caught in the Lake Higashiyama.
It is about 40 cms long.

Spacers with the use of clay or corrugated cardboard were put under the fins.
