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

I like the use of the color yellow

your art is beautiful, you can actually see the feelings of the girl reflected on the colors of the piece itself

There seems to be something strange about how the girl is interacting with the wall to her left. It kinda looks like she's merging into it? Or coming out of it? It's a cute scene that gets kinda spooky the more I look at it.

Lovely and touching - a charming picture of a little girl and a bird, until you raise the lace covering the bird and see...

Disturbingly wonderful, and gorgeously rendered.
