Hello, friends! It’s finally Friday and I know you’re all just as glad as I am.
Before we get the weekend started, let me show you what I’ve been working on this week. This little sweetie from A Day For Daisies is called “Dreams”.

The background is one that I had watercolored earlier in the week with Distress inks. I wanted to use it for the waves and the sky. I printed my image on some plain copy paper, laid it over the watercolor panel and traced the waves only by using a dull pencil and pressing hard. When I removed the copy paper, I could see the lines and then I used an EK journaling pen in black to draw over it. I colored the rock using some Distress Black Soot ink and added some darker blues as shadows behind the waves and rock. I also added some highlights with a white gelly roll pen.

The mermaid was colored using my Copic markers. I cut her out and popped her up on some foam mounting tape. I also highlighted her hair and tail with some Wink of Stella glitter brushes.
