Under the sea
This mermaid was made with a combination of techniques. The background is a landscape composite shot from different images taken in Paparoa National Park, New Zealand. Different fish were drawn (in the background) or photographed in aquaria. The photograph of Marte – a studio shot – is combined with drawing techniques used for my creature art.
Scales of a salmon provided the tail texture
