Hi Patrons! ๐
Today's Mermay is dedicated to all mothers out there! It's also inspired by Klimt! I really love how intimate and lively his paintings are!
I know Mother's day has passed already but I wanted to make a little tribute to moms! I think a mother's love is bigger than the ocean (yes, I'm cheesy ๐
) but I've been missing my mom lately since I haven't seen her in a whil...

I want to do something flowery today so I wanted to paint a mermaid bouquet! Painting this mermaid made me so excited to go to a plant nursery when stores open up here! ๐ฅฐ

I want to do something flowery today so I wanted to paint a mermaid bouquet! I ended up changing the colour palette midway to opt for a darker background! I thought it created a better contrast! For the curves tool, I adjusted the palette to bring in more pinks and reds to complement the green hues! ๐
As for the brushes I mostly used: Graphite, Sea and Fog, Coppe...

Hi Patrons!
I had a busy day today so I wanted to do something serene. I painted a mermaid that was inspired by homes in isolated landscapes. I think there's something so endearing yet haunting about being alone with nature.
Thank you for your support!

Here's my Mermay for day 11! I wanted to draw a mermaid in the hot springs! I visited Japan several years ago and I really enjoyed seeing the monkeys bathing themselves and relaxing in the hot springs, they were so cute!

Here's my Mermay for Day 9! I wanted to paint birch trees and use one of my favourite colour combinations: blue and orange! I had so much fun with this piece since I was experimenting with the colours and composition for this piece!

Here's my Mermay for day 8! I wanted to do something simple since I'm feeling pretty tired today and didn't want to push myself too much! I'm finding it a lot harder to keep up than last year! I think maybe I feel pressured to keep that momentum so I'm thinking of doing some simple mermaids from time to time like the one I just did today!
Edit: I made some quick tweaks an...

Today's Mermay features one of my favourite mermaids I painted last year, "Starry Night"! My sister gave me an idea of painting a mermaid I've done before and giving it a new setting/place. Since I was inspired by her idea, I wanted to paint two paintings by Van Gogh: Sunflowers with the Starry Night and turn them into sisters or as one ๐ฅฐ

Thank you for all your input on my last post! Your kind words and support really mean a lot to me! ๐ฅฐI'm going to be doing a mixture of how I'll post here.
