Ariel lies propped on her elbows on the seabed with Flounder beside her and bubbles rising in a line past them both. Her tail is drawn in overlapping scales, which is the part that decides the page: two close greens laid row by row make it shimmer, one flat green makes it a leaf. The fish is the second palette and works best in a colour that has nothing to do with hers. Leave the bubbles white and the water reads as water without a single stroke. From five onward. Another underwater idea: Three Princesses has a mermaid in it too.
Coloring ideas for this page
- Two close greens on the tail, row by row, never one flat colour.
- A yellow and blue fish, nothing borrowed from her palette.
