OVERVIEW

The main objective of this course is for the student to carve and

airbrush his or her own piece. The trout offers additional challenges for

those new to fish carving, specifically head and mouth detail, small

scales and airbrush work. Half of the course is devoted to carving and

the other half to airbrushing. It is strongly recommended that the student

have completed at least one realistic fish carving prior to taking this

course. It is also recommended that the student have at least some

airbrushing experience before this course, but it is not as important as

having prior fish carving experience.
