Snowy sleepy town somewhere...

Today, I would like to share with you one of the illustrations I have made for the final storyboard of my first picturebook Une histoire de gants :)

personal work, 2020.
Gouache, water-soluble pastel, and coloured pencil, on scrap paper. About 19x12cm.

“Quelques jours plus tard, alors que les rues de la ville étaient de nouveau abandonnées à cause de la neige, une silhouette se distingua du paysage.”
(from Une histoire de gants)

Virée Nocturne

Last month I was commissioned by a private client to paint her beloved pets. Before I proceed any further, let me tell you straight away - so that I do not hold out false hopes to you my dear readers - that unfortunately she does not own any dragon. Consequently, neither she nor I know where one can adopt them, sorry!

Now that the question is settled, I can get back to the subject : my last commission entitled Virée Nocturne (it means 'night-ride' in French).

Commission for a private client, 2017. Black ink, gouache, and coloured pencil, on Canson art board. About 30x40cm.

If you have been following me on Instagram, you may have seen a few 'wip' pictures of that illustration.

I enjoyed that project immensely as I had full liberty, and plenty of time, to work on it! And I love painting people's pets :)
