Merfolk Dance / 2025Hello again! I want you to know that I've committed paper crimes by painting on the back of my Sennelier watercolour paper. >:) This is the result, featuring one of my tentacled merfolk.
The back of the paper is more unforgiving than the front – I suspect it is lacking an external coat of sizing – but it lent itself beautifully to layering. It makes me want to try again.
In other news: I used Affinity Photo to edit my scan, this time. I felt very clumsy with it after years of using Photoshop, but it has some interesting features I think I will enjoy!Sep 14, 2025

oh this is so beautiful! the colours and the layering are gorgeous <3 using art supplies in ways they're not meant to be used can sometimes produce very interesting results, i hope you have fun with it if you do try again
