Tybee Blue Crab in WATERcolor

This is the little blue crab that got away. Wonderful to paint in his beautiful array of ultra marine blues,
reds and yellows. Tideous because he has eight legs and very little space to place them.
Drawn partly from reference, partly from memory (when I used to eat them, YUK!) and mainly from imagination.
Sketch crab, transfer it to arches watercolor paper, paint the main body of the crab, add claws and legs and lastly
a faint, delicate background of russian blue and lemon yellow for variety. He's done! (not in the pot, but on paper) Enjoy!
