I loved feeling the nostalgia that painting these pieces brought me 💖

I painted this mermaid inspired in Chagall Nice posters and some details from klimt’s style 🎨🧜‍♀️ I was going to paint it on a mug with acrylics (that is the reason of the theme) but ended in gouache 🫶
I used Holbein gouache on canson montval papel.
Hope you like it!

In this month I like to paint mermaids to participate in the “mermay” challenge so I wanted to share with you some mermaids I have done in watercolor in the past years from my last one to my first attempt in watercolor 🥰
Hope you like it!

Here are two mermaid paintings I’ve done in gouache so far 🩵🧜‍♀️ 🐠

On ghibli’s website they share some keyframes of each one of their movies. There are a lot of beautiful scenes to practice gouache and this a one of them 🩷

I wanted to warm up and practice the face of the bird before starting the final one. I think it came very well now I’m more confident 😊
