Last one of the gouache mermaids I painted for ArtNouveau mermay2022! My personal favourite of the bunch. At this stage painting the hair was as much of a zen moment as it is when I'm painting hair or trees digitally.

Definitely would like to get back to this medium before the end of the year.

Gibt es etwa Unterwassergefängnisse? Oder ist das etwa …?

Heute ein etwas anderer Ansatz des #mermay – der #Quallenmann

Da ist er. Nach der kleinen Sneak Peak gestern gibt es hier nun das fertige Kerlchen. Hatte ständig den Satz „’sup? Wanna hold my stick?“ im Kopf. Haha. Ha. Ein bisschen mehr Niveau hätte er aber sicher doch.

Some #origami for #mermay!

Model "Mermaid" by Sakurai Ryosuke.

Folded together with a nephew excited about origami, which was a lot of fun. :)

More info on the model:

Folded from two sheets (2:2 and 1:2) coloured on only one side. Instructions in the book Origami Planet. About 60 steps, excluding symmetrical repetition.

This wasn't the easiest model, but also not the hardest. The instructions are clear and have a great quality IMHO.
