"JORGE BENLLOCH: This is a piece of the drop cloth. You can use some kind of material that has this kind of pattern, and we are going to use that in order to mark and to also--to help having better finishing. You will see. We are going to use that one and we are going to press on top of the fish. The trouts, they have very thin scales and big scales. And you can see the pattern is getting there. When we paint it, this is going to show. That's quite a good trick though. I also like to smooth all the tool marks, all the finger marks and give this kind of nice finish. Here, they have no scales in their mouth. It's a cornea, but later we will smooth this with our finger. And that's the fish, ready to paint."
