Mermay Day 7 ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ / Garden of Friends ๐Ÿฆ†๐ŸŒผ - Process

Hi Patrons! ๐Ÿงก

Here's my Mermay for Day 7! I wanted to paint a garden with cute little ducks surrounding the mermaid stone statue! This took longer than I anticipated since I was struggling with the lighting so I had to make several changes! 

I might do something simple tomorrow to take a break from the background! I don't want to burn myself out! Despite the challenges, it was so much fun painting ducks and ducklings! I thought it would be cute for the ducks to visit the statue every once in a while! ๐Ÿฆ†๐Ÿฆ†

For the last image, I made some colour adjustments using: 

Selective colour (Reds & Yellows), Hue and Saturation, Curve Tool, Brightness and Contrast 

I rely on adjustment layers to really make the colours pop! It's one of my favourite steps to do when I finish a painting!

Thank you so much for your support everyone! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

Hi Emma! Thank you so much!! I used the copper brush and blocky brush from my custom brushes ๐Ÿฅฐ

She is so adorable!! I love how you always make your mermaids part of the background ๐Ÿฅฐ What is the brush you mainly use? Like for the leaves? ๐Ÿ’•

Excellent job, so nice to see your process for these. Definitely a good idea to pace yourself, burn out is no fun. Also lots and lots of water and stretching. :)
