✨ GIVEAWAY ✨ How do you draw water? It’s always moving! This water was inspired by a frustrated morning drawing in the open air outside of the Museum of Islamic Art. 🌊 Memories of a place outweigh photographic references. Scraps, sunshine, & remembering. When we camp, the goal is always to make it out in time for the sunset. As soon as we arrive (and have set up the tent) we climb to a lookout point on a mesa and take in the view. This little pink octopus…he’s on every spread in the book; something extra for children to find, to go back and look for. He’s also fun for me to draw, with expressions and actions that compliment, but don’t necessarily mirror, the main story. What would an underwater souq/market look like? Natural materials and shopping bags made out of seaweed. This is reinventing and alternate world!
