Artist Research #2

This painting is a Siren who has captured people and eaten them, this piece looks like a digital painting done in Photoshop, the artist has rendered the gauze on the mermaids arm using a low opacity brush and i think the artist used the blocking in the colours technique where by you build up the layers similar to traditional painting.
The sirens have lured the sailors to the rocks by singing and eaten them.
The colour of the sky is grey to give the gloomy feeling and the mist gives the element of surprise for the sirens.
The artist focuses on the siren her self and the skulls tell us what she has done to the abducted sailors.
This is relevant to my project because i want to do an underwater scene for my FMP and mermaids have quite a evil reputation and could be underwater demons.
The artist who drew this piece is called Anne Stoke.
