This fun Weedy Sea Dragon painting is finely finished with traditional watercolour techniques. Part of my sea life watercolour collection, this original piece is designed to add a feeling of good fortune to any spaces, and has been hand painted on 140lb Arches cotton paper. 9x12 inches (23cm x 31cm).

Weedy sea dragons resemble (you guessed it) seaweeds. They have long, slender bodies  with yellow and purple accents, and several weed-like appendages used for camouflage.

They're not strong swimmers. They spend most of their time swaying with surge or currents drift through the water using sea grass as a safe haven.

This artwork is signed discreetly on the tail of the subject and is provided unmounted and unframed. I advise that this artwork is framed behind glass to protect and preserve the paper and paint. I am happy to provide framing advice - please contact me via the contact link. 

It will arrive to you in a protective plastic sleeve and carefully hand-packed in a carboard box.

Please note: Colours can vary from screen to screen and on different devices, colours are captured as accurately as possible

About the Artist

I'm Samantha, a contemporary abstract realism artist from the southwest of the UK. My childhood in a sea fishing family, full of wildlife enthusiasts has instilled in me a lifelong fascination with the coastline. Bliue and green spaces.

When I'm not engrossed in my painting, you can find me paddle boarding, indulging in wild swimming, or going on walks with my faithful companion, Netty the Boarder Terrier.~My ArtIn my art I look to capture the mesmerising beauty of the natural world; directing my focus towards the natural energies and the profound connection we share with wildlife.

To infuse life into my work, I manipulate an intricate interplay of colour, shadows, light, and movement. I often incorporate things that I find in nature to replace traditional painting equipment, such as feathers and shells - giving me a deeper sense of connection with the natural world.Using a blend of mixed media, I employ bold, contrasting, and precise colours, often using visible brushstrokes, and broken lines. When working with watercolours and inks, I use vibrant hues and fluid marks to convey my vision.

Each of my pieces is crafted with the intention of exuding a sense of freshness to captivate viewers, and seamlessly harmonise with both contemporary and traditional settings
