Gone Fishing

Ice Fishing(pencil, watercolor on the next page)

At Easter holiday in Lestijärvi, we decided to go ice fishing. When ever we go to the lake, I usually fish too, but this time I decided to do some sketching instead. It was a lovely day, the sun was shining and the wind was mild. I had three jackets and three trousers on me and that way I was able to sit still and draw.

All the sketches were made of the same person. I had about 20 minutes at a time and then he changed his position. He had only one fish and it was so small he threw it back to the water. Maybe you can see his frustration on these sketches, or then I just imagined it.
