The feel of this song immediately reminded me of Raoul Dufy's concert hall paintings, all the warm red and orange colours and musical stuff.
I wanted to give a classical, jazz bar vibe to the image I made, but I kept having abstract thoughts about lighthouses and mermaids and sailors. I decided to include a scaly pattern on a dress to satisfy my mermaid thoughts.
I was getting really frustrated with everything I was doing with traditional media so decided to so it digitally. It was interesting to make the scaly pattern so I learned a technique there but I feel like my image lost some of it's initial 'story' or feeling that some of my roughs had. Without the development work and ideas the image doesn't actually hold up that well on it's own. The colours are pretty successful though.
