The Gateway – Giclee Mermaid Print 5×7 Limited Edition

Photograph of a matted print of a colored pencil and graphite full body drawing of a purple and blue mermaid sitting on top of her tail in the sand at the bottom of the sea. The mermaid has light purple and blue scales on her tail and shoulders, and flowing light blue hair that is hovering around her head. She sits at a ¾ position facing to the right. A string of white pearls are worn around the mermaid’s neck that discreetly cover her bare chest. Gazing with a mystified expression towards a strange woody plant growing in the sand, she reaches forward towards a round orb of golden light hovering between herself and the plant. The mat-board is white on the top layer and silver on the second layer. Blue roses rest on top of the print to the left. A small silver stamp with the Terratoff icon is at the bottom left corner of the print, under the roses.

Description

Drawing Process:

For “The Gateway” mermaid drawing, my process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with a light colored mechanical pencil or graphite to draft the idea. I follow up with several shades of different wax colored pencils to add depth and a sense of atmosphere to the drawing. Then graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add details. The colored sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the graphite of the final drawing. This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the journey from sketch to finish with each layer of color. I very much hope you enjoy “Who’s Queen”!

“The Gateway” Mermaid Drawing Story:

“The time of magic was fading in the land of “Twom” (The World of Man). As their source of life departed, the magical creatures of Twom began to vanish with it. Soon the only remaining creatures of magic were those that lived deep in the oceans of the realm. Somewhere beneath the waves there was a young mermaid with a plan to escape Twom, to live on in another realm with enough magic to sustain her and her friends.

Deep inside a shipwreck, the mermaid had found an enchanted sprout kept safe within a sealed glass bottle. This extraordinary plant was foretold to open gateways to other realms! When she planted the seed within the ocean sands, it miraculously took root and began to grow!

After just a few moments the tiny sprout grew into a sapling, its branches arching upwards as a celestial power began to swell between them. Tiny orbs of light appeared to dance around the mermaid as she watched the sapling grow and felt the magic radiating from its presence. She knew that she had succeeded in her quest, she had found a way to a realm of magic…. the realm of Terratoff.”
