Done with the under-painting, I wanted to create a more dramatic contrast of the figure from the background. So I settled for a more greenish-blue to paint the background. I did mess up and had a very dark spot in the upper left corner, so I fixed it by kind of creating a transition from a darker green to a lighter one.
Then, I chose the colors of the mermaid and settled with more pastel colors. The under-painting helped so that one coat of the same shade of pink and blue made pre-made shadows and highlights. I did go back in with a slightly darker shade of that color to emphasize the shadows.
