New picture book release
This is The Colour Catchers, written by Johanna Bell. The story is about a young girl and her grandma who ‘catch’ colours in the bushland of the Northern Territory. To illustrate this one I used a combination of pencil leads to get a rustic and gritty feeling, and experimented with very splashy watercolour to represent the colours growing in the morning light. Out now with Scholastic.
