I have to admit that I did not register this painting properly, I was so inspired that I forgot to take pictures of every detail or thing I was doing, so I will only present 3 steps including the last one.

The first thing I did was make a sketch of the jellyfish bell, and only that, because if I added a lot of pencil at the time of painting it, the lines of graphite could be seen, after that, I started to give touches of rose with the watercolors, I started with very light tones but then I added more layers of color to create the vignettes.

Behind me there was a door that leads to our backyard, and on opening it gave a better lighting obviously, in the first one everything is darker. I skipped a lot of steps, but I had already painted the bell of the jellyfish, I started with red on the edges and I added rose to lower the hue, these watercolors have the quality that I can mix them and to obtain a darker pink I mixed with red.

The inner part of the jellyfish I painted it with yellow reducing it to an almost pastel tone and I mixed it with white too, I used the same tone for the arms.

I painted the tentacles with the same shade of red and pink that I mixed, to tell the truth, this part was difficult because I do not have a finite brush, and I was using one of those that end in a fine tip, but if I settled it a lot I could make the stroke very thick.

I added more rose to the corners, the rest of the tentacles and I was finally finished.

The photographs in step 1 and 2 are quite opaque because I took them with my cell phone. But this final along with others I took with my camera, so they could appreciate the real tone.

And a mandatory photo of me with my painting.

Do you think that the idea of mixing art with little scientific issues such as talking about animal species is a good idea? probably I'll do more of this type, there are other jellyfish that I would like to paint.
