This is not a Screen Print (3 Layer Gyotaku of Sea Bass Heads)

This is not a Screen Print (3 Layer Gyotaku of Sea Bass Heads)The sea bass is my favourite fish to print and probably to eat too. I'm based here on the beautiful Island of Anglesey surround by water, home to many sea bass. The bass I used for this print is supplied by a local fisherman with a licence to fish bass commercially. He catches all his bass on line and supplies many local restaurants. For this print I decided to use a different approach. Using three acrylic ink colours, instead of simply blending them

It was caught in the Menai Stait
