I did a video but it is longer then my regular video due to watercolor is not a fast thing. Well to get a good coloring we need to let dry in between layer so warning the video is longer then normal. You can find the video on my You Tube Chanel or below in this post.

Inspired by the majestic landscapes, textures, and colors of the West Coast, architect-turned-artist, Kirsten McLean loves painting the mountains, ocean, and all things in between. By blending hand-painted graphics with modern fonts, Kirsten creates fresh compositions that make heirloom-quality gifts, greeting cards, and prints.
I am mostly self taught, learning from the study of famous artists such as Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and Andrew Wyeth. I have been able to develop as a watercolor artist by taking watercolor classes at the Palm Beach Art Armory and workshops with Liam Zhen, Alvaro Castagnet and Tom Lynch. I continue to study artists past and present. The more I study and learn from others, the more I am able to develop my own style.
I paint for the joy of painting and hopefully others will find a source of enjoyment in my work. Favorite subjects include anything that peaks my interest. I love to paint fish I have caught, birds I have seen, New England buildings and landscapes, fly fishing scenes, also, street scenes of east coast towns and cities.
While sound value is one of our cornerstones, we never compromise on quality. We utilize only superior components to ensure you receive a first-class bamboo rod that you will be proud to own, thrilled to fish with, and will want to pass on to future generations. We purchase bamboo rod components from manufacturers known for supplying products of select quality. Handcrafted from the finest Tonkin cane and made to mirror classic tapers made famous by rod makers of the past, our rods ship with two tips. Fashioned with ferrules of nickel silver and stainless steel guides, some of our bamboo rods are also outfitted with agate stripping guides, nickel silver winding checks and hook keepers.Commitment to the FishermanRaven Fork Rods are made and designed by Jim Mills, a fly fishing rod maker in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina who is described in a recent magazine article as "The Rod Wizard of Raven Fork." His vision of the perfect fly rod has been sharpened by a lifetime of fishing from salt water to clear mountain trout streams, from the Madison river in Montana to the Chesapeake Bay. Because he is an avid fisherman, Jim understands better than anyone the demands of wide rivers and narrow creeks and the nuances of both dry flies and nymphs.
He made his first rod in 1964 when he was stationed with the United States Public Health Service on a remote Native American reservation. Since then he has made hundreds of rods in all mediums--bamboo, fiberglass, and graphite. He has also painstakingly restored rods of all kinds including broken beloved poles and family heirlooms. More recently he has come to specialize in bamboo, which he believes is the Cadillac of the industry. Along the way, he was fortunate to study and be mentored by a veteran bamboo rodmaker who challenged him and helped him master this difficult medium as is evidenced by the outstanding quality of his rods.
What makes Jim's rods unique is his commitment to the fisherman. He likes to interview his customers to get an understanding of their specific needs: What kind of waters do they fish? or do they plan to travel with their rod? Rod length, weight, flexibility, and cost all come into play, as do design elements like nickel silver ferrules, artisan-sourced custom reel seats and classic tapers. Jim completely immerses himself in understanding the individual fisherman. The result: a fly rod as unique as the individual. "A fly rod should be an extension of one's arm, balanced perfectly and easy to cast," said Jim. A Native American fishing guide here in the Smokies where Jim makes his home sums it up perfectly: "One can feel Jim's heart in his rods."
For Frame 3, draw the fish on the upper right side of the bowl near the water with the face facing upward. This is Anticipation pose 2 before the jumping position.
For Frame 4, use the Squash principle and draw the fish near the middle and just below the water with the face facing left. This is Anticipation pose 3 before the fish jumps out of water.
For Frame 8, the fish goes back into the water. Draw it just below the water. With the Follow Through and Overlapping Action principle, the water splashes near the location of the fish.
On all frames, take note also of the positions of the tail and fins using again the Follow Through and Overlapping Action principle.
