Make a magical mermaid splash! Following her bestselling I [Heart] Drawing: Fabulous Figures, Jane Davenport dives deep into the ocean to explore the wondrous world of mermaids. She shows how to draw and paint these sensuous sirens, with their perfectly proportioned figures, shimmering scales, and all. Jane's evocative instruction touches on every aspect of this fantasy realm: Oceans of Color: Paint beautiful backgrounds in which your mermaids can dwell. Go with the Flow: Convincingly draw these sinuous creatures in undulating poses. Mermaid Hair Don’t Care: Paint the flowing tresses that are every mermaid's trademark. Keep Urchin Up: Depict mesmerizing facial features. Jane also provides unique suggestions for making an "upscale" mermaid art journal, gives a month's worth of creative prompts for Mer-May (or any day), and offers ideas for stunning collages. Review: A true delight; find joy in drawing & painting mermaids! - Wow! I love this book on drawing and painting mermaids. I'm a seasoned, professional writer and poet, who has kept journals for over 25 (nearly 30) yrs, and many have had art and sketches in them. I studied art in college but rarely made time for my art for years-- unless it was a work assignment. Now I'm returning to art after a hiatus and this book by Jane Davenport is fantastic. I have already painted two mermaid paintings (with her Mermaid Markers and a watercolor set of hers), and am really enjoying her little prompts, how-to step-by-step guides on drawing faces, mermaid figures, fantasy sea life scenes, etc. I am a poet and the creative process that she moves through in this book is so cool and refreshing. It really makes it very accessible and not at all intimidating to draw and paint mermaids, if that's your thing. It's not for kids-- it's not juvenile. This is ideal for adults who want to draw and paint mermaids, perhaps for illustration or art journals. I suppose a teenager (late teens) might appreciate it, too, again, if into mermaids and making art. There are only feminine figures in the book-- no masculine merman figures, fyi. Note: Jane Davenport is a cool, inspired, motivational art journaling coach on Facebook and offers workshops, too. I'm really getting into her videos, which offers some tutorials, too. But this book on mermaids is a true gem. It makes me very happy in a time when it's hard to find something to be happy about (pandemic, etc.) Review: Lovely, fun and inspiring - I love it. Very beautiful and inspiring art book with lots of great instruction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,081,133 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #380 in Human Figure Art (Books) #538 in Mixed Media (Books) #759 in Figure Drawing Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 551 Reviews | ## Images ![Marvelous Mermaids (I Heart Drawing) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81L8n7HTCJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true delight; find joy in drawing & painting mermaids! *by L***H on June 9, 2020* Wow!

Very beautiful and inspiring art book with lots of great instruction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Inspirational Book! *by A***O on July 24, 2020* I have Jane Davenport's drawing books on faces and figures, so I was excited to get her new book titled, "Marvelous Mermaids." I wasn't disappointed! Although I'm an experienced artist, I find her work to be very inspirational. Her use of color and fluidity of line are amazing. Her book features multicultural looking mermaids and curvier ones too, which makes it much more inclusive. She has sections on backgrounds, hair variations, seascape ideas, sea life/form ideas, and more. Her suggestions for the use of different media and applications are great too. Finally, the sentiments, prompts, stickers, and collage sheets provide great reference material for experienced artists like me. For these reasons, I highly recommend this book for beginners and advanced artists interested wanting to explore the dynamic visual world of mermaids. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/162276288-marvelous-mermaids-i-heart-drawing](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/162276288-marvelous-mermaids-i-heart-drawing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
