Dark Skin Mermaid

 

This is Karen Campbell's "Dark Skin Mermaid," from her Utube channel. She taught mixing watercolor paints for dark skin tones from Polina Bright's ebook. Karen created an adorable mermaid which I drew in my Canson XL watercolor book, using a Graphgear 1000 Pentel pencil.

I used Prima watercolor paint sets including Complexion. I gave her a bit of rosy  cheeks with a Prismacolor Pencil, details and outlines were done with a black Faber-Castel Pitt Artist Pen. I used a white Gell Pen for highlights.

I loved blending the watercolors for this mermaid!
