2.04.2012

Next I am going to paint a blue crab that I caught while fishing in Rockport, Texas.  I am fascinated with wood grains lately... it will be wood in the background. I also like the pretty colors on the crab.


2.06.2012

I started with the background today.

 


2.07.2012

I tried to add in some browns and start the crab but it is way too wet to make much headway.  I will try again in a couple of days.

 


2.11.2012

I started adding Mr. Crab.


2.13.2012

I added some of the legs today. I also painted some of the darker spots and shadows on the wood.  Lots more details to come...


2.15.2012

I'm still trying to get the proportions of everything correct.  I also started shading the crab more and I added the eyes.


2.18.2012

I added more blue to the wood...


2.19.2012

I added more dark grays/ contrast to the wood today.  I also added some light yellowish browns.


2.20.2012

I changed up the legs some today and added white to the arms.


2.25.2012

I worked more on the crab legs today.  Added lots of reds and oranges.


2.26.2012

I worked on the crabs head more today.  I tried to get rid of some of the harsh contrasts up there.  I also added some cerulean blue to the legs which seems to work better.


2.28.2012

I worked on his face and claws more. Almost finished!
