Print of my Acrylic on canvas of Rainbow trout feeding., titled Rainbows This painting was inspired by a photo taken by Patrick Clayton of Engoretson Underwater Photography.
This is an acrylic painting depicting two trout swimming in a clear blue body of water. The trout are painted with attention to detail, showcasing their mottled coloring which includes shades of pink, yellow, and green with speckles across their bodies. They are depicted in mid-swim with a sense of movement conveyed by slight blurring around their fins and bodies, as if they are gently propelling themselves through the water.
The water is rendered in various shades of blue and green, suggesting depth and clarity. Gentle ripples on the surface of the water are visible, indicating movement. The sunlight appears to penetrate the water, creating patterns of light and dark that give the painting a realistic sense of underwater light diffusion.
The lower part of the painting features an underwater view of a rocky bed. The stones and rocks are painted in earthy tones of brown and green with highlights and shadows that give them a three-dimensional look. The positioning of the rocks creates a sense of the underwater landscape and the natural environment in which these fish reside. The overall composition is tranquil and presents a serene snapshot of aquatic life.
