Small mixed media octopus painting on paper. Octopus are elusive and intelligent creatures, and you are very lucky if you ever see one while snorkelling or diving.
This octopus painting was inspired by the film My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. If you haven't see it already, it's worth watching. The octopus that film maker Craig Foster followed during this film was a wild common octopus that lived in kelp forests of False Bay, South Africa.
The common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) is found throughout all of the oceans, particularly in temperate waters. This species is a master of camouflage and can change colour and pattern to blend in with its surroundings. They are considered the most intelligent of all invertebrates and have been found to be able to navigate their way through mazes and use tools.
This mixed media octopus painting was created using acrylic paint, built up in washes and layers, with oil pastel used to add definition, shine, and to pick out details. I love the turquoise tones in this calming painting.
