This is a video I created and posted to my Instagram account of me painting. It is a new painting I have been working on for the past few months, “Viola.” It is the first painting in my new series, “Musical Mermaids.” I’ve actually been creating sketches for this series for about a year, but this is the first chance I have had to create one as a painting.

I sped up the video with the app InShot. Ha! I wish I painted that fast! 🙂

Here is the original sketch, although it has changed a bit through the painting process.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and view my art process. I hope to finish this painting this week, so I will post a photo of the final painting next week.

Have a wonderful, creative day filled with joy, Janell
