A Bloom Vine On A FISH! 🐟 Painting A Rainbow Trout For Trout Fest

Today I’m trying out my first bloom vine - on a wooden trout! I’ll be entering my fish into a contest for Trout Fest in a few weeks.
Thanks to ‪@lisamarvinart‬ for the bloom vine instructions, and to ‪@MOLLYSARTISTRY‬ for the pouring medium recipe!
My pouring medium is 2 parts US Floetrol to 1 part Gloss Medium and Varnish (Creative Inspirations brand, bought from Jerry’s Artarama). Find Molly’s mixing video here: • Fluid Art Pouring Medi...

I’m sorry that my overhead camera cut out mid-video, so the view wasn’t as good for the tilting process! While tricky to cover a shape like this, it worked out ok in the end. Save your swirls for after tilting so they don’t get warped!
Here’s another option for a cell activator: • As Good As Aussie Floe...

Love your fish I mean, your Trout! Most beautiful Trout I have ever seen! The most unusual shape I have done is a small wooden keepsake box, it's still in progress slowly but surely. I love your channel though Anna, thank you for sharing your talent with us all ❤

Love the idea of a bloom on a fish. I live along the Miramichi river in NB 🇨🇦 and we have a huge Bass tournament during the month of may to compete for the stripper cup! Love your art Anna!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks so much! 😊 I love my piggies!

[@sylviabraddyart]

That turned out so pretty. I've only done letters, the R was challenging but turned out beautifully.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Yes letters would be hard…

[@sylviabraddyart]

But we love the challenge 😜

[@user-ew8se1du9i]

Meraviglioso 😊

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you!

We have a big trout festival here in east Tennessee too "running of the trout" i was so glad to see this! Very neat idea of a bloom vine i think i would have used a double cell activator one pink and one interference green and done the fish in shades of greens golds coppers and a hint of paynes grey myself but i love this too!! Beautifully done sweet Anna!! ❤❤❤❤🤗

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! I really like how mine turned out but yes there would have been a number of good ways to interpret a rainbow trout…

[@andreaengelsart8215]

Really cool piece ❤ I would use resin so the tlp colors can show the hole brilliant shine. But just my opinion. Your piece, your rules

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you!

[@ErinHines-yc5km]

I'm just a few counties to the west in Nicholas County!😊

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Nice!

[@clairenicholas9454]

[@AnnaBlountArt]
