Watercolour detail after Hiroshige print
This is the second detail from the same Ando Hiroshige woodblock print. The prawns in my previous post were at the top of the print. My handmade watercolour sketchbook is too small for the whole composition of most of Hiroshige's prints. I tried to work a bit faster with this one so it is much more obviously my work, not Hiroshige's. There is one more of his famous fish prints I must do and then I'm thinking I might try a bit of Japonisme of my own - inspired by Hiroshige, of course.
Speaking of Japonisme, through a comment on my previous post, I discovered a blog called Japonisme by Lotusgreen. If you are into beautiful things - paintings or objects, treat yourself by paying Lotusgreen a visit. And don't forget, if you want to know more about this journey into Japanese Art, you'll find it all on Making a Mark.

Wow! Amazing work, Robyn.
As Bono says,'even better than the real thing'
Your colours are prettier and your fish look alive.
Your sketchbook is going to be amazing when you finish and open it out.
I've just started in mine, and feel like I've ruined it already:)
This artwork is really quite lovely. The open mouth on the big fish -- great shape. And I especially love the play of colors and the gradation and contrast in the blues!
Fantastic!

thank you robyn!
Beautiful elegant drawing....fantastic
His work - your work - it's definitely your hand in those loose washes and deft strokes. And those colors! Those gorgeous saturated colors!! Every time I'm feeling jaded with the world I can come here and fall in love all over again.
Beautiful! The colors are fantastic!
Beautiful colours and the fish shapes are lovely Robyn. I think your book of watercolours will be a real treasure when you're done.
Robyn, These one is lovely...super color and detail. This book will be a beauty when you finish it. Nice work!!
Beautiful Robyn - you're really capturing the 'feel'. Plus as one who has tried it's harder than it looks!
Isn't Japonisme wonderful!
