For June,
my birthday month,
I’m sharing the process that I follow when creating art for product.
Here it is in a visual nutshell.
•
The LANG 2017 “She Who Sews” calendar and related product.
Available on their site now!
•
•
First, lots of sketches.
The mermaid was inspired by this cool antique, articulated fish needle case!
•
•
When I am satisfied, I transfer the final sketch to watercolor paper and render in ink.
•
•
Then I view on the computer to help decide on a color story.
•
•
Next, I go to paint.
•
•
After that it is scanned into the computer where the layout is refined.
At this stage I love to coordinate the image with encouraging verse content.
•
•
Finally, the really fun part, seeing it on product.
•
•
And who knows, maybe this could end up on fabric, eh?
You can watch for her later this summer at
