Artist Statement:

I created this piece with the intention to sell it at our art programs gallery night. I made it on a form board using a think black sharpie marker/pen. This piece using line and color for the elements. I used lines in the whole piece when drawing the mermaid. Her hair, body and tail are made up of all lines and the background is where the element of color comes into play. Next time I create a piece like this, maybe I'll make it bigger and make a cooler background.

Artist Statement:

This is a piece I made for a competition. I created it using all black sharpie marker and watercolor paint. In this art work I used the elements of value, color, and space. I used values of the dark sharpie and lightness of the watercolor to create the dark and light points of the work. I also used space by filling the entire page. Next time, I can possibly improve on the background, I was a bit rushed to finish and it is shown in my sloppy brushwork in the background.
