More Oula, this was just a colour test to see what worked nicely. Its quite challenging to work with a scene and characters that have a lot of natural greys and not make it look too dreary. I think I need to think about adding more texture in my shading, but liked this piece anyway. It's a good sign that it only took half an hour to colour too.
aww this is really lovely, the colours are so soft and briny - the palette reminds me of where i am at the moment in Cornwall. i think Selkies would love Cornish waters. her expression is lovely too - serene and contented, either just been discovered by humans and not too bothered, pleasently surprised more like, or inviting us in to join her in the sea!
