Bigeye Thresher Shark

Janina Rossiter | Stippling & Liquid Alcohol Ink

One of my favourite species and having been very active against the shark finning trade in Europe this species has a special place in my heart. It’s especially targeted because of its beautiful long tail fin, which can be the length of their body! I always love to mix two mediums - the liquid alcohol ink under water world with the stippling technique. I wanted to try something new and work with different layers of transparency/ playing with the tail movement. The quick movements and the length of the tail are so special for this species that I wanted to highlight that in my artwork.
