Illustration Friday "trail'

One of my students suggested that I do an illustration from the story of Hansel and Gretel for Illustration Friday's word for the week. I used a smooth Strathmore paper with watercolors and prismacolor colored pencils.

  1. This is lovely, although the kids will hurt their feet in the forest with no shoes. Love the dynamic shadows.

  2. oooo Jane! I love the watercolor look and the feeling of a breeze blowing through the trees. You really captured the "into the forest" atmosphere. Great minds think alike ;o)
