The Yellow Birdieby ~ewaludwi

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

recently, I’ve been kept busy with my comissions. One of them was illustrating a story for the next issue of Black Lantern Publishing A Macabre Journal of Literature & Art .

I’ve had a great time painting this illustration! Not only was the client very nice but I can also hardly imagine being given more freedom while working on a commission. Everything, starting with the interpretation of the story right through to the technique and even paper size was basically up to me, so I decided to take my time and go for something more traditional and detailed this time.

Watercolor on paper, about 30 x 40 cm

"
'NEVER shall a young man,
Thrown into despair
By those great honey-coloured
Ramparts at your ear,
Love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.'
'But I can get a hair-dye
And set such colour there,
Brown, or black, or carrot,
That young men in despair
May love me for myself alone
And not my yellow hair.'
'I heard an old religious man
But yesternight declare
That he had found a text to prove
That only God, my dear,
Could love you for yourself alone
And not your yellow hair.'

William Butler Yeats"
