Invite the horrors of the deep everywhere you go, even the middle of the desert! This set of three watercolour paintings feature scenes from the games Dave the Diver, Dredge, and Subnautica. Each painting was carefully composed with a bold disregard for scale, geography, and biome-restricted spawns. The ink & wash paintings are rendered on 100% cotton rag watercolour paper using India ink and Daniel Smith paints in primary colours. Bioluminescent details use glow-in-the-dark acrylic to haunt your dreams. These are unique paintings: only a single set of canvas prints have been made to hang in the artist’s own home. Dave the Diver measures 28x43 cm (11x17 inches), while Dredge & Subnautica are 23x30 cm (9x12 inches) Perfectionist’s warning: thanks to a taping whoopsie-doodle, the painted surface area of Dredge & Subnautica are slightly different, even though they are on identically sized paper.

Brenna has always loved watercolour art, but didn’t “get” it for a long time. In the last six years or so has she overcome the baffling highschool feedback “you used too much water” to really dig into the medium. She also sews, gardens, and snuggles her very good calico Moriarty.
