Shrimps Painting Instructions

Step #1: Stamping Side Of The Palm

Begin this painting by taking a white circular paper sheet as the base for the painting and red paint. Using a paintbrush, paint your side of the palm (part beneath the little finger) with red paint and stamp it over the base to make the base of the shrimp.

Step #2: Texturing The Shrimp

Dip the paintbrush into white paint and make the short curvy lines on the long body of the shrimp. See the image for reference.

Step #3: Giving The Shape Of Shrimp

Dip the paintbrush into red paint and make the short lined legs of the shrimp beneath its body, 2 legs making a ‘V’. Make the short strokes ahead of the wider part of the shrimp to shape its face and make 2 long curvy and thin antennas from the same part. Also, make a tail at the narrow part of the shrimp/behind it. See the image for reference.

Step #4: Making The Eye Of The Shrimp

Dip the paintbrush into black paint and make a circle over the face, beside antennas. Then make a dot in the circle using the white paint to make the eye of the shrimp.

Step #5: Making More Shrimps

As you made the shrimp previously, make more shrimp on the base randomly by stamping your hand side and then making all the other features of them, following the same as before. See the image as a reference.

Step #6: Making Red Chilies

Using the red-painted paintbrush, make curvy red chilies in between the shrimps over the base as shown in the image.

Step #7: Making The Stem Of Chili

Dip the paintbrush into green paint and make the top green stem part above the chili.

Step #8: Completing Making The Stems Of The Chilies

Following the same previous step, make the stems of the chilies above them. See the image for reference.

Step #9: Making Dot-Like Strokes Over The Base

Dip the paintbrush into yellow paint and make the dot-like strokes randomly over the white base.

This Is The Final Look Of Your Shrimps And Chilies Painting!

For the last step, mix some green paint in the yellow one and make some green-yellow dot-like strokes over the white base as shown in the image.

Tada! Told you! The shrimp in this painting will look real! You are finished making it!
