Inspired by a face-to-face encounter with a Green Sea turtle swimming underwater off the coast of Kauai, HI. The painting is on 40″x30″ 300lb Arches rough-edged watercolor paper. Rendered in a realistic style, the piece showcases the turtle’s intricate scales and shell patterns using watercolor and India ink. The background features a soft gradient of blue and green, evoking the ocean depths.
The blending and layering of colors are carefully managed to achieve depth and realism, particularly in the turtle’s shell and flippers. The background employs a soft, gradient wash, typical of watercolor, to create an aquatic atmosphere, enhancing the sense of the turtle “flying” underwater.
