Mermaid Joy

 

This red headed Mermaid is from a tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School. The class was actually on working in fountain pen ink. My Mermaid is mostly in Prima watercolors with some Liquitex acrylic ink used for her red hair and in the seaweed. I painted this Mermaid in my Canson XL watercolor book.

Karen taught drawing the Mermaid and using her ink to paint it in. I painted it in with Prima watercolors instead. I also used colored Mini Fineliner Markers (Master's Touch) for some detail as well as a Micron Pen. The highlights were done with a Gelly Roll Pen.

This Mermaid was fun to work on a great addition to my watercolor book!
