“The Little (empowered) Mermaid”
This class was first published as part of Ever After 2016. Ever After is all about fairy tales each year and for my main lesson I shared how I like to draw and paint a mermaid based on the original story of The Little Mermaid.
Come learn how to create a beautiful whimsical mermaid on a textured layered background with Tam. We explore the original story of the Little Mermaid and look at how we may want to put our own spin on it.
Extra characters I’ll demonstrate in this painting are an octopus and a sea horse. Filled to brim with mixed media techniques this class is approx. 2-4 hours of video content supported by an in depth PDF.
I hope to see you there!
