Let’s Paint! Galaxy shrimp
I really don't like to make videos, there is just so much time spent in setting up the camera, then working on getting over the feeling of being watched, then finding my art groove, then editing and cropping it all and finding somewhere online to host it for free, and so on.
There's a dime a dozen artists already showing you their processes. I'll maintain some mystique, and just share photos of the stages along my process of painting. It's far less time consuming, giving me more time to create- which is what the whole thing is about, anyway.
I seem to love all things with bright colors. Cherry shrimp are my latest inspiration. The wiki definition of cherry shrimp aka Neocaridinas.
*Neocaridina davidi is a freshwater shrimp originating from eastern China and northern Taiwan and introduced in the rest of Taiwan, Japan, and Hawaii, which is commonly kept in aquaria. The natural coloration of the shrimp is green-brown. There are a wide range of colors including red, yellow, orange, green, blue, violet, black, etc. *
Once you get past all the standard ones found in the hobby, you find the fancier/bolder designed shrimp. When I saw the Blue Boa Galaxy Shrimp, I needed to paint it asap.
