Louisiana Crab Boil

Watercolor on 300pd Canson paper

I snapped this photo at a family and friend gathering in Metairie, Louisiana.
Once I had finished the drawing, I used Grumbacher Misket with crochet needles as my “Pens” to save my whites. Let dry… Inch by inch I started painting on the right side (I am left-handed) and used a thick towel to keep my left hand from smearing the pencil lines and keep droplets of paint from attacking my drawing.
I have painted crabs before, but not this detailed. I enjoy painting very complicated pieces, and this was one! The fun part of this painting process was the crab shells, I love using red (Daniel smith Cadmium Red Medium Hue and Holbein red Light Cadmium) and painting layer after layer after layer. And the finishing touch… you have to have The Times Picayune newspaper showing somewhere in your painting, it’s just not right not to “represent”. I drew in the name, painted and viola...”Louisiana Crab Boil”.
