Marvelous Mermaids

by Jane Davenport

ake a magical mermaid splash! Following her bestselling I
M[Heart] Drawing: Fabulous Figures, Jane Davenport dives
deep into the ocean to explore the wondrous world of mermaids.
She shows how to draw and paint these sensuous sirens, with
their perfectly proportioned figures, shimmering scales, and all.
Jane’s evocative instruction touches on every aspect of this fan-
tasy realm:

• Oceans of Color: Paint beautiful backgrounds in which your
mermaids can dwell.
• Go with the Flow: Convincingly draw these sinuous creatures
in undulating poses.
• Mermaid Hair Don’t Care: Paint the flowing tresses that are
every mermaid’s trademark.
• Keep Urchin Up: Depict mesmerizing facial features.
Jane also provides unique suggestions for making an “upscale”
mermaid art journal, gives a month’s worth of creative prompts
for Mer-May (or any day), and offers ideas for stunning collages.
