If there is one thing I had given little thought to in my sixty year life it is trout. Trout were something I occasionally ate at the homes of other people who liked to flyfish.....but when I picked up this incredibly beautiful book by James Proseck, the artist in me would not let me put it down. Entranced, I stood in the bookstore and turned page after page almost gasping at Proseck's watercolor renderings of trout from all around the world. I was thunder struck that any fish could be so lovely, and that there were/are trout in every region of earth, that some trout have gone extinct, and that we have hybridized some trout out of existence by introducing species where we shouldn't have. In short, I bought the book, I took it home, read it cover to cover, and spent three months copying Proseck's trout into my own watercolor journals so that I could learn about watercolor from him. It's been quite a journey! Rarely do I discover such a wonderful book, a book that becomes a personal treasure. I will never look at lakes or rivers or streams the same way again. I will look out across vistas of water and know that I have friends there, thanks to James Proseck.
Lifelong trout chasers are bound to still learn a lot. The pictures are simply amazing! Bought one for me and then my trout chasing partner.
I bought this book as a gift for my son who is an avid fisherman, and because I wanted a colored picture of a rainbow trout so I can paint one for him for his birthday. I haven't started my drawing yet and it will not be a copy of the picture in this book, but I think he will love the book.The only thing I would wish is that there were more pictures of American trout.
Books such as these are always interesting and reflect on one of natures true wonders.I would recommend to anyone that finds fascination with these subjects. To include the works of the late Ron Pittard to their collections.The late gentlemen did in his lifetime set a gold standard to the color study of countless species of fresh water and salt water fish species.His work led the industry for many that have followed his standards. The creativity of his work helped create the high standards that inspired many of the professional Aquatic Artists in the his field today. The history of this artistic path has included many. The late Ron Pittard was one of the worlds greatest.
Jame Prosek is excellence artist who pay attention on every detail on living fishes. I can see all shades & hues that he painted on his work. Moreover information in this book is also precious, that come from all-part of trouts' range, even if from less-studied region like, Middle East or Central Asia. Not only interesting story from writer's traveling, but also includes fact from former scientific research that adds value from this book and I wish to see the 2nd volume. Whatever you are angler, student or interests, should have one on your shelf.( I satisfied for this time shipment, books arrived to me in a mint condition with securely package, thank you for service team.)
Beautiful book. Will be great on any coffee table or at any camp/hunting/outdoorsman house. Any fisherman or avid sportsman would love this book as a gift.
This book is stunning! Its a perfect rectangular size that corresponds with the depicted trouts. Absolutely beautiful artistry and colors are vibrant.
gave this book to my daughter hope she will paint lots of fish If you are interested in this sort of thing you couldnt get a better one
