flyartist Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Drawing Flies 52_31 Brassie Original status: email me for information.. Swing by Jason's blog to check out his rendition of the of the Brassie! Tech Info- Gouache, Watercolor and sepia ink and bamboo pen on 140 lbs. watercolor stock. Created this one in a similar method as the leadwing. I started by laying down ink lines with my bamboo pen and sepia ink. The bamboo pen is a great tool to use for drawing. You can great great thick and thin lines by adjusting the pressure when drawing. I also break up the lines by using a spray bottle. This pattern is a great imitation of a caddis larva. I have spent considerable time turning over rocks in the streams and rivers I fish. The most abundant insect that I encounter is the cased caddis. The brassie imitates the unfortunate caddis whose anal proledges cannot overcome the natural or unnatural dislodging forces. The wire wraps get the pattern down in the water column and the peacock hurl is a wonderful representation of the emerging legs from the case. A simple yet effective pattern.
