"Sea Serpent" by Bronwyn McIvor

SciFi/Fantasy Picture 66 out of 100 by Bronwyn McIvor. ←Previous - Next→


	Somewhat, very loosely inspired by Chinese dragons (the pearl part, mainly.) I used this for the front of a birthday card for my friend Adena. Done in watercolours, using salt for the fun splotchy bits.

26 Jan 2006	Rachel Lawlor	Loading... Wow, amazing! It's so beautiful and I love the way the body twists and turns and the expression is great. I'm trying to work with watercolors myself, and I'm not really all that great. I like he effect of the splotchiness but could never figure out a very good way to do it. Would you mind explaining to me how exactly you did that? Thanks, and great job! =^_^= Bronwyn McIvor replies: "Thanks so much for your comment! I'm still very experimenty with my waterclour usage, but I got the splotchy effect by putting rock-salt on the areas I wanted splotchy, and then I left it until it was dry before brushing the salt off. Hope that helps you!"
