Hi Patrons! π
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 π
) but I've been missing my mom lately since I haven't seen her in a while due to lockdown here! I hope you're all staying safe!
Have a great day! Thank ...

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! π₯°

Hi Patrons! π
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! π
As for the brushes I mostly used: Graphite, Sea and Fog, Copper, Blocky, Bonobo Chalk (Default Procreate Brush)
Overall, I'm very happy with this mermaid! I...

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!

I attached two timelapse videos of this piece! I made this piece with Procreate and as always, made colour adjustments in Photoshop!

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!

This process went through a lot of stages since I wasn't really happy with the mermaid's pose for the first half of the painting so I changed it up to something more relaxing! I went with a more painterly style for the background to bring att...

Here's my new Mermay for Day 9! I wanted to try a different approach today and play around with Photoshop! I usually paint in Procreate for my Mermay pieces but today I wanted to try experimenting with the colours since it's a lot easier to play around with the curves tool in Photoshop!

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 and changes I made this morning to increase the vibrancy! I'm so much more happier with the colours no...

UPDATED: While looking at last night, I realized I wasn't too happy with the vibrancy so I made some quick changes this morning, I'm much happier with how it looks now! Sometimes, quick colour adjustments and edits really make a difference!

Here's my Mermay for Day 7! I wanted to paint a garden with cute little ducks surrounding the mermaid stone statue! This took longer than I anticipated since I was struggling with the lighting so I had to make several changes!
I might do something simple tomorrow to take a break from the background! I don't want to burn myself out! Despite the challenges, it was so much fun painting ducks and ducklings! I thought it would be cute for the ducks to visit the s...

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 π₯°

Also for the Mermay, I'm not following any prompt lists but I think I'm g...
