Summer of Color, Week 2: Coral, Teal and White

Hello again, and happy Sunday! I hope everyone’s enjoyed their Midsummer and Summer Solstice. Here’s my last day participation to Summer of Color, week 2: Coral, Teal and a Splash, Smudge or Pop of White. I thought of crabs the minute I saw the colour palette, and am super glad I had time to finish my piece. I’m also glad to have tried watercolour painting, which is a fairly uncommon medium to me. I’m more of a scrapbooker and mixed media collage maker usually! Getting to try something new is one of the best things in joining online challenges, I think.



Hei kaikki, ja hyvää sateista sunnuntaita! Juhannuksen vietolta en ehtinyt aiemmin maalailemaan, mutta onneksi ehdin näin viime hetkessä mukaan Summer of Color -haasteen toiseen viikkotehtävään, jossa väripalettina on korallinpunainen, tumma turkoosi ja ripaus valkoista. Ajattelin heti rapuja, kun näin väriyhdistelmän, ja onneksi ehdin tänään tarttua toimeen! Olen iloinen, kun maalasin pitkästä aikaa vesiväreillä. Tavallisesti olen enemmän skräppääjä ja mixed media -kollaasien tekijä. Haasteissa onkin parasta juuri se, jos ne innostavat kokeilemaan jotain uutta!

    It is a great opportunity to try new mediums and I love your watery background salla the little crab seems very at hone in his watery world. Crabs are a perfect coral so a great choice of subject too.

    I played with watercolors in a different challenge this week, and I have to say, yours turned out so, so, so much better than what I made. First, you draw very well. This is a lovely piece!

    Oh this is gorgeous. That background has so much movement in it! Like Mr Crab is holding up his claws to an incoming wave. Love it.
