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
Anthropomorphic Watercolour Paintings completed...
Lord Lionheart is completed, he was challenging and there was a moment that I thought I would have to start again, but nevertheless he was fun to do. I am falling more in love with watercolours the more I paint with them, it's such a learning curve but I just love the magic that happens when they're left to do their own thing. All in all it's been a super busy week, but my three paintings for Thursday's assessment are completed... phew! I have also included a little montage of my sketches some of which may become future final pieces, so watch this space!
The African Lion in Tudor Clothing is emerging...
Just one week until my college assessment, have just begun my third final piece and am finding it particularly challenging! Fingers crossed I can pull it off, just need to keep focused and keep going...
