Junior Bear's Journey



If you recall, I introduced Junior a few weeks back, announcing I would be creating some illustrations for an upcoming children's book.  I'm quite excited about it and am delighted to give you a sneak peak of some ideas I've put to paper thus far.  Please do keep in mind that these will be in the Beatrix Potter style.

I'm open to any ideas or thoughts.  One thing I'd like to know is how to make my sky flow better with my watercolours.  Anyone willing to give me some tips?  Hee

OK....off I to dive in more.  Have a wonderful week, my bloggie friends.  :)

  2. What I have found to work the best is to use high quality paper and paints. Arches paper and Grumbacher or Windsor and Newton paint, the higher quality paint (Professional grade) gives you the best results. It's worth the money. This is just my opinion and what I use.

  4. Wonderful illustration! when I do my sky (cuz sky trips me up sometimes too) I use very very little paint wet the paper and drop in color. Gives the impression of clouds. Also the sky won't compete with the content of the illustration if it's very little color. :)

  8. junior is cute...i like the stretching guy!
    when i do sky work in watercolor i sometimes wet the paper first and then drop in color - using various amounts of color saturation...
    what colors are you going to use for it?
    i am so proud of YOU!
