How to paint a jellyfish using inks or watercolors | Wet to Wet Technique

[@allisonjames2923]

The top part of the jellyfish is the “bell”. It has tentacles & the little dots on its tentacles are called nematocysts - they are the stinging cells. And apparently a group of jellyfish 🪼 is called a bloom / smack / brood / fluther / swarm / smuth or a stuck of jellyfish

[@jeantemplemeyer366]

Beautiful tutorial,thank you!

[@christinacanonico5832]

What type of watercolor paper were you using?

[@WulfricTheBlack]

I’m totally new to this, so can you explain the difference between inks and pigment watercolor paint? With This ( beautiful) piece you kept referring to it as ink. But it seems to act like pigment WC paints I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@andrecardon2141]

Tku

[@donnabuckley5137]

You forgot to list the gel brush ink you used at the end

[@jennifergraham6896]

Can you use liquid watercolor for the same effect?

[@TheKkeys]

Yes, but it won't spread as much

[@maggiemae6867]

So beautiful!! I'm just getting into inks. Do you add water to your inks before going on the wet on wet? Or just straight from the bottle? Your channel is so inspiring

[@TheKkeys]

I add straight from the bottle

[@daninemilligan4689]

Love your paintings and the materials you use. Can you tell me what brush you used? The large brush you used doesn't look like the ones at the link you gave. Thanks.

[@TheKkeys]

Thank you! The brushes posted are in three sizes. The largest one is similar to the one in the video. Here's a link if you'd like to purchase a single brush www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017X6GFB6/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=krikey-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B017X6GFB6&linkId=939483d43b042a820f5cb32448db7bca

Jellyfish body part names: The top part is just called the body, and the stragglers that come off of the body are 2 different things, the smaller skinny stringy (stingy too-ouch) are the tentacles and the flowy larger ones are the "oral arms". It's how they eat. The tentacles are what stings its food and stuns it so the food gets stuck in the oral arms and I think they either eat with their arms or they bring it up to the bottom of the body to ingest it. IF I remember correctly, those are the body parts! (The more you know🌈🌟)

[@barbtemplin7864]

Really beautiful! Were you working from a reference picture? Love the delicate movement.🤗

[@TheKkeys]

Yes I took inspiration from all of the photos at the beginning of the video. Thank you!!

[@caro_santamaria]

Yeah I'm not ready for this lol my attempt is an embarrassment 😳😖🥴

[@saritaschwedes8393]

the tentacles and the oral arms. ... The tentacles hang down from the bell and have stinging organs to stun the jellyfish's prey. In addition to the tentacles, jellyfish have four to eight oral arms. thank you to google for this! 🙂

[@oeisb]

Love the video and your creativity! But your microphone makes me wanna quit watchin, its hoorrible haha

[@christalusse7643]
