This is the last set of sea slugs for this week. I hope that these paintings make you smile. I used mixed media color paper. They do link to eat a lot of ink.   So, this is something to consider when painting with paper that is not designed for inks. I talk more about the paper in my artsy Sister Youtube and Tiktok channels. I am going through a bit of a slug phase. It just seemed like a good idea as all.   The first painting features a skinny looking sea slug. The purple squishy stuff combines well...

I made new sea slug ink art. I forget what type of paper I used to make these paintings. In the videos I made of these artworks, I do mention it.   You can check them out in my Artsy Sister Youtube and Tiktok Channels. I also took two painting details. With regular paper, the colors in the paintings do not change much.   This is why I didn’t bother to photograph the final form. Let us move things along, shall we. The first slug resembles a jellyfish a bit. This is part due to the fact that you are...

The watercolor paper has a similar problem, but it doesn’t absorb the ink too much. So, you can smoosh it around if you need to. The paper also warps. It isn’t good to wet it too much.   The first painting features a purple sea...

It just goes to show that an artist can make art with whatever. This brings me to my sea slug. It is called...

These are the last slug paintings for a while. I ran out of ink art paper. So, I will not be making ink paintings. I am going to switch to pouring paintings now.   For now, let us focus on my new Sea slug paintings. The first painting features a Spanish Shawl. That is legit the name of that little slug. It is found in the Gulf of California and the Galapagos Islands.   They are hermaphrodites. On rare occasions, they do self-fertilization. The second painting features a pink Nudibranch dorid. She has the same Barbie pink colors. This is...
