I'm trying to think of something new to paint. As of this morning, I'm thinking mermaids, oceans, pretty blue water? Until the ideas start flowing I thought I'd share the process for my last painting. In three quick steps.


I've been sketching queens for a while, so I was quite pleased when this one came to fruition.  (as in, a sketch I wanted to complete)

I made a final drawing and started painting. As I neared completion I realized I had killed it. D-E-A-D. So, I decided to re-draw. And I came up with the final composition and kept reminding myself to keep the paint light and free.  I think it worked.
