Young Mermacorn – Giclee Embellished Unicorn Print 5×7 Limited Edition

Photograph of a matted print of a full body watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil painting of a mermaid unicorn under the sea. Also known as a mermacorn, the creature has a white unicorn torso and a green mermaid tail. The mermacorn appears to be a young colt, with large light green eyes, a short glowing golden horn, and long spindly front legs. The unicorn wears a necklace of golden pearls and floats effortlessly in the dark waters with a smile on its face. They are facing ¾ to the right, and appear to be glowing so that the dark waters immediately around them are illuminated to a lighter blue color. The mermacorn has golden scales scattered among the length of its green tail. The background is a gradient of blue water, with white bubbles surrounding the floating mermacorn from head to tail. The mat-board is black on the top layer and gold on the second layer. Small pans of gold and silver watercolor pigment and a golden ink pad surround the print.

Description

Painting Process:

For the “Young Mermacorn” unicorn painting, my process includes several steps. I begin with a sketch that I develop into a finished drawing using wax based archival colored pencils, and graphite. Next the drawing is scanned, then printed out at a low opacity onto hot press watercolor paper. Now the painting begins! Watercolor is the first layer to establish the mood, tones, and color scheme. Then I shift back and forth between oil based colored pencils and gouache to refine and render the painting. I strive to select vibrant and archival pigments throughout my process. Check out my listing photos to see examples of the paints, brushes, and other materials I used!

“Young Mermacorn” Painting Story:

“The Mermacorn is the rarest and most sacred of all sea creatures. They are so rare that only one sighting has ever been noted in the history of Twom (The World of Man). Before magic died out in our realm, a single mermacorn appeared to a Mermaid when the veil between Twom and Terratoff was opening. It had a message to deliver that changed the fate of magic in this world forever.

It is believed that the mermacorn somehow traveled to Twom from their native home of Terratoff, where they thrive despite their small numbers.

The unicorns of the land and mermacorns of the sea have a lot in common. Like unicorns, the mermacorns are blessed with great healing powers, able to regenerate themselves and survive in the harsh and perilous waters. However, mermacorns are unable to wear the signature crowns the unicorns of land wear around their necks. The dragons that craft them simply cannot deliver the crowns under the sea.

Instead, when a mermacorn comes of age, a mermaid will create a necklace for them made of pearls and precious sea stones. The stones signify the mermacorn’s genealogy so that they do not breed too closely. This proud young mermacorn has just received a necklace of golden pearls, and is ready to venture into the deep oceans in search of adventure!”
