Mermaid with Clownfish Painting Work in Progress, Solo Clownfish, & Orchid Sketch...



Here is a work in progress view of my mermaid with clownfish painting and a small clownfish painting that I've started.  I'm trying to complete at least one small painting a week.  I'm very inspired by the people painting 30 paintings in 30 days, but I'm not nearly fast enough at this point, so I'm trying for one a week.  Although she looks very similar to the last time I posted her, I've finessed the mermaids skin tones a bit.  I have a little more do to on her skin before I move on to her eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips.  Of course she also needs her hair done, but it may be a little while until I get there...

In this photo you can see my easel crammed with paints in the holding area, I have to put some of those back in their drawer soon!


I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

Here is a sketch of a yellow orchid.  It is a potential option for next week's small painting.

  2. Lisa, don't worry about painting fast! Paint what is good for you! I do have to say, to challenge yourself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days is a lot! Your Mermaid is looking stunning!!! I love her eyes and the skin tone! The Orchid sketch is coming along beautifully ;o) Big Hugs ;o)

  9. Looking good so far! I think one painting per week is a more realistic painting speed, at least for me! Good luck with your goal.
