There is something so enchanting about the depths of the ocean which is hard to put in words…

I love the moment with painting-Grace wondering why sketching-Grace drew all those finicky tentacles! 😆 All that masking really paid off, and I think the thin outline on the jellyfish was just enough to keep their shape defined. The final painting is gorgeous~

Thank you so much, I’m glad!🥹 ohh yes, sketching Grace get quite ambitious and carried away when she’s in the zone😅

The jellyfish and the tentacles are so wonderful, and I love the mermaid. She is so exquisite. Your channel is my FAVORITE of all the watercolor channels. You paint what I want to see, beautiful scenes inhabited by wondrous beings. Creatures real and imagined, brought to life by color, paper and water under your hand. Thank you.

Well, I personally LOVE how this one turned out. I already have two of your prints and I want to buy more but I don’t have wall space for them. I would love to buy a print of this one too when I move again ❤️
