My first time to the ocean was when I was 17. I wish I could say that is when I fell in love with it, but it wasn't until I was a few years older, and I went back that the ocean stole my heart.. Now I live about an hour away, and it is my calm place.. the place where the world makes sense.  Maybe that's why I fell in love with this crab from Polkadoodles's newest digi collection... Zodiac

This collection has the full range of zodiac/horiscope images... And while I'm not a cancer, I had to paint the crab anyway. 

Stamp: Polkadoodles Zodiac digital collection

Color: Watercolors

Daniel Smith- Quinacridone Lilac, Phthalo Green (blue shade), Transparent Pyrrol Orange, Quinacridone Gold, Buff Titanium, Moonglow

Winsor and Newton- Lamp Black

This sweet little guy was super fun to paint, and was the perfect opportunity to include a watercolor technique I don't often use... salt.  I love the texture it adds!!!

Hope you enjoy the video!

If you have any questions, or requests (technique, specific stamps, mediums, whatever!),  let me know!

I'll be back with more soon... see you then!
