Paint Schedule for Pumpkinseed (Lepomis Gibosus)
(I will add pics soon)
1.) Off white - Inside the mouth, rear edge of ear tab, and adding retarder make the fine web markings on the cheek and gill cover.
2.) Chrome Pearslescent - Breast (heavy) and fog up the sides of the fish tapering off just above the lateral line. Also the cheek and gill cover.
3. Iridescent Gold - Apply this color lightly on the very top of the back and fade it down into the Chrome Pearlescent.
4.) Bright Yellow - Lightly apply this color where you applied the iridescent gold subtly fading it down the side to give the Chrome pearlescent a slight yellowish tinge.
5.) Gill red and Bright Yellow - Mix in color cup to desired intensity. Spray the breast, pelvic fins and anal (you want them transparent though). Adding retarder scale tip your orange markings that start in the ventral region and work their way up. Use reference. Also use this color between your web markings you made on the cheek and gill cover.
6.) Gill red and Bright Yellow - Add more gill red to get a strong red/orange and paint the ear tab with it. Be sure to leave an white edge where appropriate (see reference)
7.) Dark Brown - Use this color mixed with retarder to get your markings above the lat line.
8.) Blue - Lightly along with retarder go over your web markings to give them a slight blue tinge. Some fish have blue markings interspersed with the orange markings too.
9.) Black - Use this color to finish up the ear tab.
