The Art of 3D painting in Bowl

History of 3D fish painting art

It’s hard to believe, but the lively goldfish swimming in bowls are not real at all!

A Japanese artist named Riusuke Fukahori is painting these incredibly realistic three-dimensional goldfish using acrylic paint layered over clear resin.

Just like 3D printer, the artist paints the fish layer by layer, with the sandwiched slices revealing slight more about each creature.

His art works inspire many artists around the world to learn and create many outstanding 3D paintings.

How is the 3D fish painting made?

Each artwork is pure handmade and are carefully painted by artist.

The stunning three-dimensional paintings were created by layers of resin and painted to create depth.

With gleaming scales and beautiful movement, these fishes make you feel owning a real fish tank as small as a bowl.

However, on close inspection, it becomes clear that these are clever optical illusions.

The painstaking process is the artist begins with a thin layer of resin, which he then paints fish onto using acrylic.

Gradually, layer by layer, more details are added to bring the animals to life and create the optical illusion.

On top of the sandwiched layers of resin are drawn animals before allowing the resin to settle and pouring another layer on top.

Every product may take more than days for drying and drawing completely.
