In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a big eye mermaid with her angelfish friends, I've started on her hair. I still need to do some shading though... Next come the fishies, I expect I'll be painting them for quite some time, but I am looking forward to them.
This big eyed beauty is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.
This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit! You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.
I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday. To see more participants, please visit:
Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden. She has a hint of smile, as if she sees something potentially wonderful... I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid. I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in February. This is day 10.
This is a rough sketch. I am also participating in the February 29 Faces Challenge, this is face 10.

I think your big eyed maiden has just seen a wonderful dress in a shop window. Your angel fish painting is coming along really well. Hugs, Valerie
Beautiful red hair! Nice pouty lips on your maiden sketch today Lisa!
I just love the colour of her hair.
In fact I do like all of your colour choices here, they go together so well.
All the best Jan
