ACEO #171 (Sold)

This is the first mermaid I've posted, one of many that I will do so with later. I've been attempting to improve my art a lot lately by taking on more challenging subjects. The pose and the addition of the polar bear were very new and challenging, but I cleverly discovered with a large animal, you can take shortcuts! Doing the water effects were also tricky, but I think I semi pulled it off.

Mediums: Lumiere metallic acrylics, acrylics, inks, watercolors, mica H2O watercolors, prismacolor pencils, on an acid-free, 140 LB. Cold Press Strathmore watercolor paper, treated with an acid-free fixative.

An ACEO (Art Card, Editions and Originals) must measure 2.5 by 3.5 (or 3.5 by 2.5) inches. ATC (Artist Trading card) must measure 2.5 by 3.5 (or 3.5 by 2.5) inches, and is for trading only.

I think you did a great job. I love the angle and the look from the mermaid. She's thinking, "I get a kiss from a polar bear, what do you have?"

Wonderful job as always. I can't wait to see more mermaids :)

I'm glad you like it. I've always felt that with mermaids the angle and pose are the most important.

I've done a lot more mermaids, but I haven't gotten around to posting them...
