Paint Your Own Classic Trout Masterpiece with Duane Hada
HERE is your opportunity to create your own Classic Trout masterpiece for your home or office, under the guidance of renowned Ozarks painter and guide Duane Hada.
Duane will lead each member of the class through the “Can’t Fail” steps to creating a trout watercolor, with the right look of your special trophy fish.
And if you are one of those that is now thinking “I can’t do that” well I said exactly the same thing to Duane when we were designing this class. Duane politely (because he is like that) told me I was wrong, and started me off sketching in a trout outline.
He breaks each part down into small steps, the lateral line (midpoint) the outline, the tail, mouth, fins, jaw. What starts out as a line with a couple of curves each side, quickly grows into a fish. And seriously I can’t draw an Ace of Hearts, so with Duane’s method you will produce a trout to be proud of.
The class will be held on Saturday May 26 in Dally’s Ozark Fly Fisher. If we get more than 8 participants for the first class we will hold a second class on . The class will run from 9am to 4pm, with a break for lunch (not included).
Bring your own materials from the list over the jump or you can purchase the materials you need through Duane for $17. Call the shop on 870 435 6166 to secure your spot. Since places are limited this is a no refund class, but we will hold a waiting list, if there isn’t sufficient number for a second class.
