Illustration of a wooded landscape with bunnies hiding behind the trees

Bunnies in the Forest

Watercolour, gel pen, blue and copper inks
180 mm x 270 mm (2018)

'In a magical and mysterious forest bunnies peep from behind the trees. Hurry, you might see them if you are quick...'

Translucent watercolour glazes and luminous colours were combined with copper ink to create a playful and fanciful illustration suitable for children.

I’m not sure where the inspiration for this quirky and whimsical picture came from, although I remember enjoying adding the fine lines in blue ink to finish the image lending the feel of stained glass.

Looking back I can see how my illustrations demonstrate a fondness for the formal qualities of the materials whether in the form of pooling glazes, fine detailing or blending colours.
