Thalassaby *Katerina-Art

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

5 x7 Bazzill Cardstock paper ,Pastel/pencil , 2011
artwork completed for FAE'S art show theme "Summer and fire" [link]
Thalassa ( Sea) in Greek mythology was a Greek sea goddess / Sea spirit
daughter of Aether and Hemera.
With sea god Pontus, she was the mother of the nine
Telchines and Halia.
Sometimes, she was thought of as the mother of Aphrodite with Uranus or with Zeus. She is the personification of the Mediterranean Sea.
Many thanks to the beautiful reference pose/ model stock

Here is the finished artwork of the mermaid sketch i shared a couple days ago, hope you like the finished work

I used bolder line work with this artwork
I didn't want to over do it with too many colors,and kept the colors limited with blues and white representing the colors of the sea, especially Mediterranean sea it has the most beautiful blue colors

i was going back and forth if i should leave the ribbons but then i thought to leave them representing the waves
