I started a pretty cool fish wood carving project only IM NOT DOING THE ACTUAL CARVING. This is Part 2 and I'll be hand painting details like scale tipping, fin detail, and the spots.
A while back I became acquainted with a man named Vagn Ingólfsson in a wood carving group on Facebook. Vagn lives in Iceland and is the one that did the actual carving. It is an Atlantic Salmon that is 102 cm long.(40 inches for us Americans)
I think He did an amazing job but what is even more amazing is this was his first carving and it was all done by hand without power tools!
He had watched one of my RU-vid videos on how I make my own fish scale burning tips and one day He messaged me and asked if I could make some tips for him because he couldn’t find any he was happy with. So I made him some and sent them to him. Not long after he finished burning the scales on the carving he messaged me and asked if I would paint it for him!
I initially turned him down but after a little persistence from him and one of his friends, a man by the name of Bergþór Jóh who also lives in Iceland and he also happens to also speak English and has been translating conversations between Vagn and I.
So after thinking about it for a couple weeks I finally decided it would be a unique opportunity to help a new friend from another country and possibly get a little more experience painting a species Ive never painted and maybe even get some exposure abroad. So I finally decided I would do it.
He shipped the carving last week and it was held up in customs here in the US for a couple days because they didn’t know what kind of wood it was, there were also a couple other technicalities that I was able to get straightened out and they finally released it and it still ended up arriving a day early.
I’ll feel pretty confident it should turn out good and I’ll be posting videos of the painting process and progress here on Danny Harris Arts.
