Illustrating a Parenting Book // "A Really Great Mum" Part 4

Описание: Howdy, friends!

Back with another video from the Parenting / Children's book I illustrated, "A Really Great Mum."

Whilst painting this series, I often wondered how uniform I should make each painting - from colours to materials, textures and techniques.

I decided to break away from my usual rigidity to help each painting achieve its best potential.

Whilst there are some materials and techniques carried across from other paintings, this painting is markedly different from the other three I had completed at this point. It uses thick layers of gouache for the water, adding a new level of vibrancy and texture.

Reaching the positive outcome I did with this painting gave me the confidence I needed to treat each painting (or spread) as a standalone piece. I wasn't constrained to follow a strict formula.

I think this injected a lot of personality into the finished product. If you'd like to buy a copy, visit www.areallygreatmum.com
