Looking at the delicately colored prints of the artist Heather Fortner, you are probably pretty impressed with the extreme realism of its job. Each scale, fin, and the spine of the fish it creates is made with perfect detail and proportion, but the images still manage to be light and airy.
So how does it do?

Well, you might not believe, but the Oregon-based artist gets up close and personal with his subjects.

In fact, one could say that they even help. Indeed, Fortner uses real fish to create these impressions.
The practice of printing with real fish comes from Japan, where it is called gyotaku , which translated literally "fish rubbing." The fishermen once keep the ink and paper to board their ships and use them to make recordings of the fish they caught that day. records were quite accurate, making them perfect for keeping track trends in fish populations. - and to try fishing competition
There are two ways to do the direct method calls for the ink to apply the law to the body of the fish's body.. fish is then pressed against the paper. the indirect method consists of paper by pressing the fish, then rub color on paper, similar to the way people make rubbings of gravestones.
This is a mid-print fish. The detail is quite amazing.

And since we know you guys are concerned about the welfare of animals, Fortner not kill all the fish to create his pieces.

Instead, she found the dead fish that washed up on shore near her home.

After using their body, it cleans and buried in his yard to serve as fertilizer.
fish can be used more than once, which is why you often see multiple prints of the same.

This piece is an excellent example.

Handling a dead fish to create art may seem a bit crude, but Fortner sees his work as a way to connect humans to the sea. Looking these pieces, which were created with the real body of our fellow reminds us of the complexity, the beauty and fragility of life.
For its part, Fortner hopes her paintings remind viewers that fish are delicate creatures that hang in the balance of nature. The way we treat the planet often affects our aquatic friends first.
