Handpainted folk floral design in rich reds and greens with the text "Welcome to my Blog," created by Susie Batsford of The Illustrarium.

"A pencil drawing of a flapper girl, surrounded by an Art Deco pattern, designed as a mock-up for a 1920s hats and hairstyles colouring book cover. The flat lay includes vintage jewelry, a vintage lighter, pearls, and fresh flowers, evoking the elegance and style of the Roaring Twenties."

1920’s Flapper Girls and Colouring Books

March 20, 2016

"A sketchbook watercolour portrait of a 1920s flapper girl, featuring garden camellia flowers and antique 1920s jewelry. The delicate blend of vintage elements brings the charm and glamour of the era to life in this unique piece."

"A hand-drawn portrait of a flapper girl created with watercolour washes, ink, and pen, set in a flat lay surrounded by paintbrushes, a paint palette, flowers, and delicate jewelry. This image highlights the artistic process and the vintage glamour of the 1920s."

"A watercolour and pencil sketch of a flapper girl wearing a greenish-blue hat, surrounded by an antique floral bone china tea cup, jewels, and a sprig of pink blossoms. This flat lay captures the elegance of the 1920s, highlighting the creative tools and inspiration behind the artwork."

"An open sketchbook featuring a delicate pen and ink watercolour sketch of a flapper girl, surrounded by paintbrushes and tubes of watercolour paint, showcasing the creative process behind this vintage-inspired artwork."

Hello Everybody and Happy March, I'm so glad spring is finally here.  I've been busy preparing for an end of year exhibition sometime in June, although we haven't decided on the exact date of it yet. It’s the final module in my FdA in Illustration and there's plenty to keep me busy. I've also started an online class with Art Agent Lilla Rogers called MATS Bootcamp.  There's one preparation mini which leads into the main assignment each month.  This is my work towards our first assignment which is  to design a colouring book cover using 1920’s iconography and portraiture.  I've decided to use it towards my FdA exhibition, the top sketch is a rough draft of my colouring book cover, I must admit it's been a lot of fun.  I'll post the finished design in the coming weeks, but meanwhile you check out some information about the course here: http://makeartthatsells.com
