Gone mad with crabs I’m afraid. See what happens when you leave me alone with my many crab paintings and Adobe Photoshop! LOL

Here are two crab inspired beach house cushions - inspired to keep you checking to see if they are about to pinch your bum!

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