♂️ ♀️ There’s always another way to create these exercises. I love finding different ways to try these exercises especially when I show you something that uses specialty supplies. I know not everyone is going to have all the supplies I show. I still like to show them in case you do have them or have been curious, but I never want you to feel like you have to have all the supplies to create and have fun with painting! So here’s an alternative way to make a mermaid scale like pattern that doesn’t require anything but paint, paper, and a brush. Remember this is supposed to be a fun and easy sketchbook exercise to help you play and get back to painting in a low pressure environment, so be kind to yourself! #beginnerwatercolor #easywatercolor #underthesea #watercolortutorial #funart #mermaidscales #sketchbookideas @Lacey – Curious Watercolor&Art

We talked masking fluid, so let’s actually use it in a fun painting! I am still stuck on these pattern paintings a little bit and this mermaid scale painting is so fun and colorful to do! To paint a fun colorful mermaid pattern with watercolor first cut out a half circle, then trace this down the page as you move down overlap the shapes both vertically and horizontally. You can make your outlines in masking fluid like I did or anything you like. If you do use masking fluid make sure you let it dry really well before trying to paint, or you’ll get masking fluid in your brush! Also, make sure your paint is dry before you try to remove it or you’ll run the risk of damaging your painting! Give this one a try with fun colors, I can’t wait to see what you create! #maskingfluidtutorial #mermaidscales #howtopaintmermaidscales #easywatercolor #easyart #funart #beginnerwatercolor #maskingfluid

The Scales
Next, create some gestural scales to add some glistening texture to your fish’s body.
Select the Pen Tool and start drawing some small semicircle shapes. Since the fish’s body has a gradient, it’s a good idea to fill the scales in contrasting colors. For example, the darkest scales will appear on the side where the fish body is the palest, and the lightest scales should be positioned on the other side, towards the head (where the body color is more intense). In the middle, color the scales in a mid-tone that compliments the other scales.
Think of the scales as beauty marks—they should be scattered around the fish’s body to add some visual interest. There is no right or wrong way to position the scales. Enjoy experimenting with their position.
Step 8.4
Additional Features
For this fish illustration, we kept the basic structure pretty simple. This lets the little details in the drawing really stand out!
However, feel free to add more features to your design. Perhaps your fish would look great with an expressive mouth, or maybe it could do with some colorful patterns.
You can also get creative with the fish’s environment. Here, we added some bubbles using the Shape Tool. Why not add some seaweed, more fish, or an entire coral reef?
