Forget Me Not.

I know I vanished for quite a while due to merch making, but! I decided to experiment with a bit more of Art Nouveau and acrylics on canvas and this are the results so far!



It is my first time doing something on an actual canvas instead of paper so I am really excited and looking forward to it! 

It all started one day while I was listening to "Headless Waltz" by Voltaire, a song inspired in Marie Antoinette  and then the movie instantly came up to my mind (Marie Antoinette with Kristen Dust). Since I've always loved the scenery and costuming of the movie I felt compelled to make my own version of it OwO. 

Although the sketch started with that purpose, I changed the concept halfway through it when the Forget-me-not started to come along. The hairpiece came along after the flowers and I wanted to make them similar to the jewelry and hairpieces I've been making, inspired by Art Nouveau.
