Mermaid Monday IG Posts | Feb 2018

Good Morning & Happy March,

At the beginning of February, I started sharing mermaid sketches each Monday over on Instagram.  Mermaids are something I want to get better at so I take about 15-20 mins each week to get my ideas out.

Most of my sketches are done with col-erase pencils and color pencils.

I'm also working on a larger mermaid painting.  I am making good progress so far but I need to give myself a due date so it doesn't end up in the unfinished pile...

Messy start to a new mermaid 🧜🏽‍♀️ series. The canvas intimates me sometimes. I feel too much pressure to make it perfect and that’s why I didn’t have a lot of canvas paintings in 2017. So, this year I’m starting early so I can face this fear I have. I don’t want to be held back from selling originals and making prints. I will keep you posted! 🙋🏾‍♀️ Does anything hold you back from your creativity? #wip #mermaidart #jdmm #naturalhairart

More progress...

I covered up the lotus for now but plan to add it back in once the background is finished.  I post most of my day-to-day artwork on Instagram and you can find me here.

Blessings, Danielle
