Pregnant Mermaids 9x12 ink illustration paintings. Available in my Etsy shop - link in bio. I like mermaids. They offer a weightlessness in exploring concepts that would otherwise cripple me with trying to get proportions and details right. I want to get back into doing ink wash paintings. I have some ideas that I need to get out into paper. Now if I could only figure out how to keep my cat from stepping on my projects while I’m working on them. #mermaids #pregnant #pregnancy #babybelly #babybump #motherhood #painting #inkpainting #inkillustration #ink #blackandwhiteart #zaydalicious #zaydaliciousdesigns #spiderplant #oldbooks #exploringconcepts #artisticlicense #freeinginspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CBUcEgMhQhk/?igshid=u9dskuw1edjf

Exploring Concepts

As I was unsure whether to move ahead with the rock climbing idea or a brush manufacturer, it was vital for me to explore both concepts before pursuing one further.

I took a trip to my dad's studio - where he manufacturers brushes for the potteries industry in Stoke-on-Trent. My idea was to capture objects and materials which he works with daily in order to gain some inspiration regarding what three items I could choose for the triptych. There was a lot of choice so selecting the most suitable three would be a vital decision to make.
