water colours!

This may be a bit strange but I have never tried my hand in watercolours, even as an eccentric high school art student; I was happy with my coloured pencils, acryilic paint,pastels,chalk and clay and used it in 'interesting' ways but watercolours did not cross my mind until recently....when I started taking an interest in working with markers,  and realized that the layering system is similar, where you work from light to dark.
I have always felt bad that the lovely gifts of watercolour sets always sat untouched in my art supplies box(even more so when I realized Winsor Newton is not a cheap brand) and now I found a reason to try them out! So of course, I drew another mermaid....:D (my mermaids seem to be developing cone head hair though, I have to draw more of it XD)
Here it is!

I'm sorry about the crinkly paper - I didn't realize that you had to "stretch" the paper, although I will have to look into HOW that's done.

I hope you enjoy~
