How to Paint a Watercolour Crab

by

Here we go - for those who want to know how to paint a crab in watercolour -

Here I am using a size 3 round brush to add some New Gamboge yellow to his foreclaw to suggest sunlight

I drew the outline of the crab then painted his entire surface with clean water. This gets the paper ready to accept splashy and watery colour to good effect.

Then I banged in some teal blue and let it run - I tip the paper this way and that and let the medium do it.

The first 4 steps…roughly - it is very hard to paint and photograph myself at the same time!

As it starts to dry a I then went back in to darken shadow areas and start to build form. Finally - when totally dry I add the detail work and spatter - viola. Only problem is I forgot one leg!!!!

Here we have a crab with the correct amount of legs created into a cute pillow -

Crab throw pillow

The last 4 steps. Due to being overly worried about taking shots of myself painting I forgot one of his legs.

Summer crafting here we come

by

If your idea of relaxing out this summer includes a little self-indulgent creativity I have a super art addition for you.

I have created 2 unique print-ready A4 sealife printables.

All you do is pop a piece of good quality card or paper into your printer and set it to A4 max quality.

What will pop out the other end are A4 sheets with 9 color-rich images of my watercolor shells, seaweed, anemones and urchins - perfect for summer scrapbooking as you laze on the beach or verandah.

You may use these for your own personal use but please they are not for resale.

To obtain a full 300dpi version without watermark via your inbox all you need do is send me an email to Alison at eastwitching@hotmail.com saying you would like to receive my art newsletter a few times a year.

By return I will attach both printables for you so you can craft to your heart’s delight.

Enjoy!
