A woman's heart is like a deep OCEAN of secrets. - Alicia Figgs
The Illustration Friday topic this week is OCEAN. Started with a background splish-splashed about with diluted acrylic paints. Salt was added to the puddles of paint which enhanced the visual texture once the page was dry (and the salt flicked off). Flyaway hair comes from India Ink blown around with a straw.
Colors are from the Play Date Cafe Challenge -
