I....I don't even know what this is. I just wanted an excuse to use teal/blue/green coloured glitter paint mixed with collage. I glued little foam pads underneath the wings so that they look raised. It's kind of a draft at best. Could probably do much better now that I know what I'm working with. Anyway, this is Achrioptera manga.
Here is "Sky Whale" all finished. This one has been already sold. But it probably one of my favorites. #watercolor #watercolorart #whale #whaleart #3dwatercolor #artpiece #art #painting #paint #physicalart #drawing #fish #fishart #star #sky #starrynight #glitter #glitterpaint #nightsky https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5w1tLO2Q3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I mentioned in my birthday post last December that a kid used to call me Medusa as a means of bullying- likely because of the combination of my good looks and the fact that even as a elementary school girl I had an icy glare. I'll never forget that one time where high schoolers were checking me out when I was like 10 and I glared at them causing them to yell out I had the evil eye.
Now I actually had a practise assignment for writing recently, where I was supposed to build a character through the means of a picking a story theme and slowly letting the associations come to me. I actually picked women in mythology; themes & retellings because there were a couple of myths that I thought were interesting for a modern retelling. Whilst the character I picked was Daphne, Medusa was fresh in mind so I noted her down in my list.
After the assignment, I kept thinking of the other women and their modern retellings -like I thought a modern retelling of Demeter's Hymn would be excellent to go after Daphne's retelling because I have a pretty fucked up ending in mind to show the brutality of men not accepting no, and the mother's horror after that seemed like a stroke of genius.
But when coming to Medusa, I felt the instinctive urge to paint her so I did. Before anyone asks, yes I covered the see-through bits of her dress with glitterpaint. I thought it would look pretty and it does! (seriously why is glitter such a fucking paint to capture nicely)

Butterfly 🦋 I made this using my new sparkle watercolors from @pearlgraygallery! 🎨💖✨ I made a swatch sheet and took some videos clips about using the new palette, but I haven't edited them yet.. For now, I'll just say that they are really fun to use and I really love how shimmery the colors are! I'll definitely be using them on all my art! 🌈✨😻 . . . #butterfly #butterflygirl #butterflyart #butterflyfairy #shimmerpaint #glitterpaint #watercolorart #glitterwatercolor #rainbowbutterfly #butterflydress #originalart #originalcharacter #butterflywings #fairyart #fairygirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CMX1T33jDoF/?igshid=1ny38zny6w1ju
