Photo Details

Poster: Benzi

This is the fifth week of the month and Linda (bubblestx4) is our guest hostess for the Watercolor Wednesday Challenge. It is a really fun one which I think you will enjoy: WCW057 Octopus Tutorial for Beginners 06/30/2021 by Benzi at Splitcoaststampers

This is the tutorial we are using:

I followed the tutorial and used a lot of colors which was fun. I added some ocean water and a couple fish with some rising bubbles.

Hope you will come along and join us this week.

Oh - This is adorable and I absolutely LOVE the title as this fellow really does look like he's dancing to the beat of his own drum. So much fun with the additional sea life interacting. Thanks for playing in my challenge today!

Love seeing the different characters on our uploads. You did create a very graceful dancer with your painting. Super vibrant colors too. Great job!

A graceful guy, indeed. Love the soothing colors. It goes with the dancing theme I think. Lovely card.

The thought of an underwater dancer is far better than octopus for me so thank you. Love the mix of colours you used and the movement

Love your watercolor octopus! It feels like he's moving! The fish, water, and spattering are a beautiful addition to your painting.
