Feeling Crabby
Sally Lightfoot Crab
I started a watercolor of one of these crabs. (I don't know why it uploaded sideways?!) Anyway, these are the initial washes...just a light, thin, glaze of color on the white paper.
Starting to add some of the details and the darks, and building up the layers. This is where the illusion of shadows is added (value), and he starts to take shape. Will keep working on him.
