Description Just a little quicky I did as an ACEO trading card thingy, lots of fun! I used a really fine ink line work and watercolour. Working quick at this size is fun for experimenting without pressure I found... I like how the colours turned out in this, in a way I wouldn't normally use them.
It's auctioning on Ebay now [link]

Beautiful! The colors are magnificent (I really like the white fins with all the blue and the color of the shells). The mermaid on a rock pose is classic but you seem to make it fresh and new everytime it's painted

i love your entire gallery. i am also interested in mermaids. i like fairies too, and all that. i recently had a baby and first came across your work because i got 3 or 4 "motherhood" greeting cards.
my work is certainly not at your level, but i would be really happy if you looked at my gallery.

take it easy...

Heh. I was so gonna ask what pigment you used for her hair and tail. I'm glad I read the comments before I did since you already answered it. I do believe I shall try that pigment...it's great. I love that greyed blue. Lovely. And this is a great painting. I love her hair.

TrueAegis [2005-11-11 03:29:19 +0000 UTC]

I love her pose, the blue in this piece is so beautiful. The accessories are very befitting and add to her appeal, I like the blue arm coverings. Her look is very dignified as well, very attractive.

Isynia-Artessa [2005-10-21 14:14:34 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful and elegant work. The "cold" highlights make the water and the spray feel freezing. Great work with the colors. I love how they bleed together, for an almost flower-petal sort of coloration, especially in the tail. Well done.

Sorry, I've never been able to handle watercolour pencils, so can't give you much advice there! I always use pans.

SelinaFenech In reply to wampirek [2005-10-20 23:50:08 +0000 UTC]

That's Antwerp Blue! My newest favourite colour to paint with
It's cool because sometimes it turns out really vibrant, and other times more greyed and neutral.. I think it has two quite distinct pigments in it.
