Mermaids: Sketchbook Series One
Mermaids: Sketchbook Series #1 - Digital Version
Mermaids {series #1} is a 31 day collection of graphite on paper sketches from MerMay 2020. All work is an original exploration of the concept of the mermaid, as interpreted by me - Mairin-Taj Caya - with emphasis on the personification of the wild ocean, it's beauty, strength, diversity, and natural imperative for the overall prosperity of all life on Earth.
Dive into 28 pages of figurative gesture in elemental atmosphere, celebrating a unique aspect of feminine form, expression, and relationship with the deep wilderness. Enjoy playful, introspective, and sensual concepts above and below the water's surface!
This digital version comes from my personal sketchbook, available for the first time in full, scanned at high-resolution, carefully tidied and organized into an accessible PDF booklet for easy viewing. It's an example of my conceptual and figure study draftsmanship, as well as a thoughtful ode to the ocean, for both artists and art-lovers!
Included are 28 pages of 31 high-quality figurative sketches from original graphite, mermaid-themed studies, a few hand-written notes, and a little preview for SERIES 2, 2021!
