I featured this here [link] (please excuse the double post at the top... not sure how that happened) in my second tribute volume to DA mermaids! Be sure to fav it if you like! The more favs it gets, the more attention it gets and brings to all the involved artists.

i LOVE the way you color. My favorite part in this is her hair, I love the way you did it. The whole image itself is really something. It's like a dramatic pause.

Once again, it's gorgeous. Especially like the hair (of course), and her fin is very graceful looking.
How do you paint the background to where it doesn't get mixed up with the foreground?

Thanks, V-C! I usually paint the background first, and very carefully! You can also buy Masking FLuid, which blocks out any space you don't want the colour to run onto. Then, you can peel it off, and you have clean paper to work on

*jaw drops*
how the hell do you manage it??
I mean that's just great and whenever I try to pick up a paintbrush I end up injuring the paper with blobs of blobby paint!!
lol

It's apparent that watercolours are your favourite.. the joy that was put into this radiates from your work.

What a lovely picture!
First of all, her hair is so real-looking, I can't imagine how you've painted it so flowing and beautiful... did you use just watercolours for her hair?
And the mermaids face is also very beautiful...
