NYMPH SERIES

The Nymph series is about the various elements of our natural world, and the beauty of Nature. This was the first watercolour series I did featuring personal designed characters, because I usually drew them with pencil in my sketchbook and close the book and revisit them later. There were earlier watercolour paintings of OCs (original characters) but these were often simply the character, without a coloured background and pretty casual. These were the first paintings of some of my OCs created with formality like actual artworks, so it was one of my first few stepping stones to watercolour painting!

The series was begun with the first painting of my Watercrayola portfolio, the Water Sprite. She is a character inspired by the waves, sea coral and ecosystem, and I painted her to raise awareness about the importance of preserving our oceans, reefs and aquatic ecosystems in the face of increasing climate change. Following her production I knew I had to do a Nymph series, and the ideas flowed. 

By far, the most researched mini-project within this series, is actually Mountain Guardian. She is also the most extensive project among the rest.
