Rainbow Rabbit Arts

This mermaid is specifically a maiko, or apprentice geisha. I've been doing some research on them for another project long in the pipeline (Pokemon-themed, if you know you know.) I tried my best, but I'm neither Japanese nor a geisha, so I apologize if there are some inaccurate details. I've also been a bit wary to do mermaids with too much makeup because...well, it's gonna wash off, right???

Based on the work "High Plain, Lo Mein" by Kym Day, who is truly one of the Western artists of all time. Seriously, all of her work would constitute a top tier tumblr shitpost, please go check her out and support her if you can. This was mostly done as an excuse to test out different tools on CSP, especially the thick oil brush, but I'm kind of stupidly proud how it turned out.

Going to try posting art again. I tried doing this concept a few years ago, but it was my first time working with gouache and I made a mistake and got discouraged. Picked it up again with some new watercolor paints and I think it turned out great!

True to its name, the butterfly bush is a popular attraction for all pollinators, especially butterflies. It is also a common herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Like butterflies, it symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings.

Aquilegia gets its name from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), and its common name Columbine from the Latin word for dove (columba.) Both refer to its unique shape, thought to resemble an eagle's claws or dove' wings, which help to attract pollinators (primarily hummingbirds.) They symbolize wisdom, strength, and happiness.

(Hey look I'm trying to keep these all unique but there are so many flowers in the world)
