Amazed

In my previous bogpost I described my interest in fairy-tale like illustrations in vintage colors.
I'm continuing experimenting with colors that I'm attracted to and with ways to achieve a kind of dramatic, fairy-tale like effect. I saw a drawing somewhere of a little figure looking at large trees. This seemed to me like a good idea to experiment with. The little woman and the giant trees give me a feeling this could be part of a story where the woman suddenly sees herself confronted with these very large trees and is standing there for a while, amazed about these giant trees/woods, wondering which way to go.

  1. I do love the vintage feel of these images. The muted colours work nicely with the forest theme.

  3. It's so great that you are experimenting and searching, I need to do that too. A lot actually :)

    This illustration certainly holds a story. In my mind she is talking to somebody up in the trees or with a tree itself.
