Baby Mermaid in Her Bubble Bed

 

The current unit in the drawing club at Awesome Art School is mermaids. This Baby Mermaid in Her Bubble Bed is a mixed media piece.

I followed Karen through several videos going step by step, beginning with drawing this mermaid on Canson 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper and tracing a lot of circles from a template.

I followed her shading the figure in pencil with a paper stump and then added a bit of Jane Davenport watercolors.

I used my new Kingart Pearlescent Watercolors (Mother's Day Gift) for the bed of bubbles. I put additional shading around the mermaid with a Blackwing Pencil and a paper stump.

This piece was done in a lengthy process and I enjoyed doing it!
