Once we receive your photo, we produce a transparency and project the image up to life-size. Most of the time we calculate the size of the fish in comparison to the angler's fingers, holding the trophy. If the fish is at an unnatural angle, we lift the tail or fan out the fins and put in as much detail as possible. Even photos that are blurred or don't have great detail are welcome as we will add to it from our library of reference pictures. The final work is given a drop-shadow to make your fish look three dimensional. All paintings are done in oils on canvas. If you are a fly fisherman, saltwater of freshwater angler and practise catch and release, this is the way to keep a life-sized record of your catch for yourself and your friends to admire. All paintings are sealed with a clearmatt varnish to last for generations.
