In today’s episode I’m using the Swipe method to create acrylic skins, which are later on cut out to form the body of a Mermaid. I chose to do it this way as I wanted to be able to control the process more and pick only the sections I wanted. I also painted the background with a brush and a sponge to create some depth and colour gradation.
Huge shoutout to the artist who invented the silhouette and swipe technique: CraftyJenn! Be sure to check out her channel!:
