Metallic Blue Whale Original Watercolor Painting

Metallic Blue Whale

The largest piece in this series because it's of course a blue whale. This blue whale is metallic accents across its body and botanical leaves illustrated around it. A unique piece!

I tried to include as many photos and angles as possible so you can see all the facets of the metallic colors under different light. Most of them have undertones of gold, copper, and pink. If you have questions about the colors, feel free to reach out! You can find videos of the pieces on my instagram account @alr.designs.

This piece was painted with gorgeous bespoke metallic watercolor paints that have color shifting pigments in them. This means that depending on which way you look at them, and which way the light hits them, the piece and colors will look different. It is truly magical and mesmerizing to look at and see it come alive under different types of lighting.

**Each piece comes with a limited edition metallic whale sticker! You can choose from three styles. They are numbered in the last photo. Just write which one you would like in the notes section at checkout and I’ll include with your order! If a choice isn’t noted, I’ll select one for the order.

Original Watercolor Painting
