Copy and emulation
These first two images show the watercolour palette and brush that I used in creating my copy of 'bad moon' by Sarah Arnold. The images show me mixing my watercolour tones and also that I followed watercolour code in starting with my lightest shades and then going on to work to my darkest. I first chose the piece because I have found that I would very much like to look deeper into the world of watercolour painting and how I could use it to create a children's book. I learned some very valuable techniques and tips in the completion of the exercise that I will take on to my emulation that will be a progression from one of my scamps.
This image, shown above, is my finished copy. The original image shown below is from Sarah Arnold's website at
My final, shown below, is of my completed emulation of one of my scamps, 'The Jurassic'. I chose this particular scamp to develop as it was similar to Sarah Arnold's work in many respects, the image has a very strong landscape aspects and a small animal vocal point that breaks up the landscape and draws the viewer attention. The whole work is completed with subtle tones to make sure no part of the piece is over powering.
