Drawing challenge/ Hat



Beautiful Greta has chosen this weeks theme, and it's a great one,
but with too little time i  only can show you my sketch now,
i will put it in colour one of the following days.

Below, two watercolors i made years ago, illustrations for a 
children's book about a milliner who made a hat on which the moon
said a magic spell.


Have a great weekend!! xx

    dear Renilde... 'a hat on which the moon
    said a magic spell.' sounds fantastic!
    Your water colour is great. I really admire your play with light and shadow. And colour!

    And your sketch with the winter-scene-hat makes me really nosy...

    I wish you a cosy sunday,
    x Ariane.

  8. Renilde, I just love your illustrations! I like the sound of that children's book, too. That must have been an exciting project. Have you illustrated many children's books? You have such a gift.
    And thank you for your encouraging comments to Greta...I love how you say... " Keep drawing!" She loves to draw, always has. I hope she continues to always find joy in it throughout her life, like you do.

  10. Thank you so much, your comments make me feel happy, xx

    Dear Rachel, i wish and hope that too for Greta.
    I've loved drawing from childhood on too and yes i have always considered it a great joy and even a way of life.

    These illustrations were made for a contest, the winner had his/hers published, but i was not the lucky one :(
    It was very interesting though, we had to write a story and illustrate it in a rather short time.
    I never took it to another publisher.
