I wanted to do something different and fun for today! I also wanted to paint in light colours! Lately, I've been really enjoying doing paintings with an overhead lighting source I think really highlights the key areas! I've attached plenty of process photos so you can see the process of how I was figuring out how I wanted to paint her face!
I wanted to do something dynamic so I tried to use myself as a reference only to realize I'm not that flexible haha! So to make this pose interesting I had to exaggerate some of the movement!
I really enjoyed painting this piece since it's a nice change from the environment mermaids!
Thank you so much for all your support!! ๐๐

Thank you so much Emma!๐
Amazing! I love the little fish and the lighting looks great! It made me think of this fun fact: sharks often have a white/light belly and dark top to camouflage them from prey, since looking up a fish would look toward the sunlight and looking down they're looking at the dark ocean floor.
This is such an original idea! I loveee it so much! And the pattern on her tail Ah ๐๐
