For Day 10 of mermay I drew The Little Mermaid statue from Copenhagen, but as is she were really and wasn’t a statue. This was a fun image to play around with watercolours and using them to bleed into each other to create the effects of scales against skin.
Interestingly, the statue of the mermaid appears to have two tails rather than one, something which I have seen in depictions of mermaids but for but it doesn’t seem to be very common.
Also, I don’t really know what the statue is holding in her hands, I thought it was maybe seaweed but if anyone does know what it is please let me know!
