Mermay Day 7 ๐งโโ๏ธ / Garden of Friends ๐ฆ๐ผ - Process

Here's my Mermay for Day 7! I wanted to paint a garden with cute little ducks surrounding the mermaid stone statue! This took longer than I anticipated since I was struggling with the lighting so I had to make several changes!
I might do something simple tomorrow to take a break from the background! I don't want to burn myself out! Despite the challenges, it was so much fun painting ducks and ducklings! I thought it would be cute for the ducks to visit the statue every once in a while! ๐ฆ๐ฆ
For the last image, I made some colour adjustments using:
Selective colour (Reds & Yellows), Hue and Saturation, Curve Tool, Brightness and Contrast
I rely on adjustment layers to really make the colours pop! It's one of my favourite steps to do when I finish a painting!
Thank you so much for your support everyone! ๐งก๐งก

Hi Emma! Thank you so much!! I used the copper brush and blocky brush from my custom brushes ๐ฅฐ
She is so adorable!! I love how you always make your mermaids part of the background ๐ฅฐ What is the brush you mainly use? Like for the leaves? ๐
Excellent job, so nice to see your process for these. Definitely a good idea to pace yourself, burn out is no fun. Also lots and lots of water and stretching. :)
