The Mermaid

This is "The Mermaid" by J.W. Waterhouse. Everytime I see one of his paintings I wonder how he makes his subjects look so real and flawless... It was a good learning experience sampling his colors and crazy to think about all the time and detail he put into everything. The man was a genius. I think I made the mermaid look a little goonish. But it was fun to use the stylus.
