Carolina Crab, 6 x 6 " oil on archival panel, ©2013, Fay Terry
$100
This was really fun to paint and I was timing it while trying to paint quickly. I used only three colors plus white. I used Cerulean blue, Cad red light, and cad yellow medium. I often use Cerulean and Cad red light to make some nice greys but this is the first time I've used the three colors together.
Did you know that if the live crab spends some time in the fridge, it will not move around much while it's posing for you? The other way is something my husband's grandfather taught him years ago down in Little River, SC. You can rub the underside of the crab and put it completely to sleep.
