Here are my goals...
- Illustrate three to four pages each from four stories
- Illustrate several spreads and several single pages, including text
- Limit theme to little hidden folk and fairy tales
My first project is a spread from the tale, "The Ivory Cups", which appears in the book The Hidden Folk by Lise Lunge-Larsen.
I started by selecting a good section of the story to illustrate. Next, I quickly sketched out a few thumbnails.
Then I did some practice with grass, oak leaves, mushrooms and fairies! So much fun...
Finally, I moved on to a full size sketch and transferred it to watercolor paper using a light box, scanned it in and added text.

I am so excited to start painting this scene! So here we go again, adventure waiting ahead...
