Description

Available as an open edition print & as a limited edition giclee.

With every new image I get more comfortable using Painter… before I was having a lot of trouble blending and detailing in the program, but something’s clicked. This was done using a combination of Painter and Photoshop, but I think I used Painter a tiny bit more than PS. I’m simply addicted to those artist oils. :)

All textures are done by hand. I made an effort to make the scales look a part of her skin, not flat or pasted on like I see in so many mermaid images (though, she isn’t a mermaid—she’s more reptilian than fish.) And speaking of fish, they were nearly the death of me. I lost count because I moved them around so much, but I think there are over 50.
