Welcome to what I hope will become a regular (though more likely very, very erratic) update of events that happen in my rather haphazard life as an illustrator. I was sure I had something to share when I first decided to include a blog on my new website, but now can't think anything.
EXCEPT that I have a new WEBSITE!
Do have a look at it and please return because in time I hope to open a store and include FAQs and a range of notes for teachers and students.
Lovely Freya. I'll look forward to reading your blog posts and shopping in your store!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! You were the first person to ever visit this site I think, or at least to comment on it. Thank you! I hope to have some nice stuff in the store soon.
DeleteHello, Freya! I get such pleasure looking at your art so I'm looking forward to seeing more on your posts. And maybe I'll learn a thing or two, or three or one hundred! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryl - Thank you! I'm a little worried I'll have nothing sensible to post! I'm hoping to give a little background to my work and the illustration side of my life, but it's rather confronting putting things out there. I'll get there I'm sure. I hope you're well.
Deleteyour work is amazing! Can you tell me about your process, what medium(s) do you use?
ReplyDeleteHi there!
DeleteThanks for your lovely comment. I generally work slightly differently for each book and aim to find a medium that suits the story. I mostly use watercolour though, either over a pencil drawing, or over a laser print onto watercolour paper. I'm doing a book in oil paints on paper at the moment and loving it! Watercolour can look very faded and I was getting a bit jaded! But oil paints are so bright and intense, and you can make them subtle too. I'll post some examples some time soon.

I have just read everything you have written. I work in a school library and so have only just discovered all of your books. I love your style and work. I have always dreamed of illustrating children's books. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! And you read everything - I forget that it's all up there forever.I wish you the best of luck with your illustrating dream. It's a very satisfying job and I highly recommend it! Freya
