Ink Art: Sea Slugs Green and Purple

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

I made new ink art. It is based on sea slugs. Sea slugs have a lot of pretty colors.

So, they seemed like a good animal to paint. The green slug is called Costasiella Kuroshimae or Leaf Slug.

They have a cute green color. I like the cute little eyes that this slug has. I tried to capture it with my ink.

They are found in Japan and the Philippines. This slug likes tropical climates. The second slug is a Flabellinopsis iodinea or a Spanish shawl.

It has a cool purple and orange body. You can find it in California. I am going to rant about the paintings next.

The green slug was an interesting project. I painted the shape of the body first. I added the background next.

I painted the face with silver ink. I added black dots to make the eyes.

The dots grew a little bigger due to the wetness of the ink. It still came out alright.

I added a blue aura to the slug. I then added green dots to the body.

The last thing I did was add the dots on top of the tentacles.

The second painting followed a similar pattern.

I painted the purple body. I then painted the background.

I then added the red tentacles in the body.

I made a video and short of my paintings.

You can see them in my Artsy Sister Youtube and Tiktok channels.

I hope you find my new paintings amusing. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and Go bless.
