This drawing was part of Jacqueline Read-Szymczyk's  'First Prize' exhibition at Rugby Museum and Art Gallery awarded in 2012.  She researched the myth of the mermaid and became interested too, in the Japanese  women called, the Ama.  They dive for pearls and seaweed.Their history covers thousands of years.  They always  swam naked: reports of viewings by mariners, may have contributed to the deep beliefs of the true existence of mermaids.

 I have chosen Canson Aquarelle Rag paper for this detailed drawing. This is a highly textured Giclée art paper, offering light fast, strong reproduction of blacks and good colour intensity with a texture that holds the ink and catches the light. This Giclée paper has a white uncoated paper base, which together with the texture gives the artwork a lovely fine art reproduction feel.

*  The word Giclée (“g-clay”), is derived from the French verb gicler meaning “to squirt or spray”, Giclee, is used to describe a fine art digital printing process combining pigment based inks with high quality archival quality paper to achieve Giclée prints of superior archival quality, light fastness and stability
