Jellyfish Paintings

Here's two quick little jellyfish paintings I whipped out one afternoon. I was painting some washy backgrounds to scan and use as future backgrounds for my art if it was needed, then decided to paint some jellies on top after scanning was done. I use liquid watercolors, ink, and bleed proof white... since I wiped out all the white areas of the paper, I had to paint them back in.

Prints can be purchased at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SamNagel

Dragon watercolor

I did not plan the colors before I began painting, so it's not my normal color scheme to use blue and red, but I'm really liking it. Prints for sale at my Etsy store

Owl watercolor paintings

 

 

Here's two new owl watercolor paintings to start the new year off. Both are painted on illustration board measuring about 15x20". I wanted to paint something other than sea life, and would still lend itself well to bright splashy colors. These paintings can purchased as prints and pillow covers at my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/SamNagel

Watercolor Mermaid

I realized I should paint a mermaid! I always like painting sea life for the colors that I could use, but also love painting ethereal women. Took me a while to figure out I should combine the two into a mermaid... duh

Guardians of the Sea: Seahorse Painting

I found that seahorses lend themselves to be painted in almost any color. Perfect reason for me to paint one. Both seahorses are painted with Dr. Martin Liquid Watercolors, as two separate paintings on white backgrounds. I originally thought I would have them as two paintings, but played in photoshop to combine them like this and loved it even more. Prints, of course, are available in my Etsy store.

Below is a WIP photo showing the seahorses
with their first layer of paint.

Octopus and Rubber Duck

I'm calling this one "Bath Time Octopus". The rubber ducky makes this painting more cutesy than my normal look, but I kind of like it. I have this watercolor painting available for sale as prints in my Etsy store.

I love the way it looks on the iphone cases too!
