Intro
With their long flowing locks and sparkling fish tail, mermaids will always be a mystery of the sea.
Emmanuel Caliste was a fisherman, boat builder, sea cook and master of the violin. He was also an artist, well known for his depictions of mermaids. He says he was inspired by a vision of a mermaid at the age of 9. It was from then on that he began painting mermaids from his wooden home on the small island of Carriacou, just off the coast of Grenada.
Why not take a little inspiration from Emmanuel and create your very own colourful mermaid? By virtue of being mythical, you’re free to let your imagination run wild with wonderful colours and texture – have fun with everything from pens and paints, to shiny ribbons and twinkling foil!
