Final version
charcoal, chalk, paint and ink. If you stepped into my studio I think you’d be surprised by the amount of paper there is: I’m into mark- making! All my colour illustrations start off as black and white drawings that are scanned and then assembled using the computer. This enables me to experiment with the use of colour. Colour is intrinsic to me and I spend a long time choosing the colours for each spread.
When we turn the page, we discover that the rocking horse has come to life: we see the girl riding the white horse bounding out into the night sky and on the opposite page we see her ‘huckleberry friend’ the bear beckoning to her. He’s wearing a blue necktie, an old straw hat and holding his guitar. Their magical adventure is about to begin.
