I'm out of water color papers so I've used heavy card stock 250gr, sketched my "mermaid" and rubbed the sketch as much as possible to paint, I loved to watch this video and learned how to get pretty hair, but i need my gel pen, it's my own touch!! I've splattered with blue and white and I like the final result, popped this on foam tape on a white base

Lovely with the cardstock. Amazing result of the whispy hair and all the colors you created. You must have kept the brushes not real wet. Terrific job. TFS

Very good sketching and love the wind blown hair. I see she is at the ocean where there always seems to be a breeze....love that, too.

I love that you took her to the beach, and then I read she lives there haha I think everyone needs a signature piece that makes their heart happy and if a white gel pen does that for you I am happy on your behalf too
Wow, I am so impressed that you were able to do this without watercolor paper. You achieved beautiful watercolor on regular paper! You did a wonderful job capturing the wind in her hair. I love the sky and your white gel pen work! Beautiful!

Love the movement of the hair! You could tell this is a mermaid without even being told. She totally looks like one! Love how the gel pen added some really nice highlights. I never would have guessed this painting was done on cardstock. This is wonderful.

Beautiful hair. Your sketching is amazing. I hardly can draw a straight like with a ruler, let alone sketch something one would recognize. Your pen is wonderful hightlights.
