Under the Sea


Here is a look at a painting I was commissioned to do recently.  Her hair turned out better than I thought it would, and I was totally surprised at how nice the rock work looked!

This little mermaid was fun to do--I used watercolors for most of this painting.  For her skin, though--I did something a little different. I used a bit of coffee and cream--from my coffee cup--and added a tiny dab of crimson.  The skin tone turned out perfectly--though the scanner didn't do justice to the smooth look of the painting in real life.

Have a wonderful weekend friends--Ah, isn't summer marvelous?

Wow, the layering of those rocks are incredible! And her hair too...LOVE her hair. Would love some of it one my own head:-) Btw, I'm so with you on the no shoes thing - I'm a barefooter myself:-)
