SS: Plate 10by *Himmapaan

Traditional Art / Paintings / Illustration / Storybook

'the figure of a man on horseback drew her eyes to the window.'

Edward Ferrars' final visit to Barton Cottage -- to propose to Elinor.

Illustration for the Bath Bicentenary edition of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, published by Palazzo Editions, 2011. Also available from Amazon, but please do try your bookstores.

Watercolour with a little gouache on Fabriano cold pressed watercolour paper (the old, discontinued version).

A few other illustrations for this book are in this folder. There is also a slideshow on Palazzo's blog.

__________

Good news and bad news concerning this book. The book was received well and has even been favourably mentioned in several places online. But sales have been so poor that though there had been hopes that I would illustrate the remaining five Austen books for each of their bicentenary year, the series has now been cancelled.

I'm grateful to everyone who has shown an interest in my work, but to those who have purchased any of my books, you have given the very best support an illustrator could ask for. Thank you.

Very few people can draw like that nowadays, are you published? Trained? Self-taught?

I LOVE your chosen scene of Sense & Sensibility!

So cute!

Always a pleasure, Squire ;ahoy:

I always get to your uploads so late, and everyone has said pretty much everything already... Additionally, it doesn't help I am finding myself awful in terms of word choices as of late.

So I'll simply say that this is gorgeous, and if ever I figure out how to make watercolor glow like this, I'll die happy.

It really is too bad they're canceling the series. We really do seem to have fallen on hard times.

Aww not at all.

I've been so bad at replying to your comments when I've meant to (like when you said you were tempted to draw those parasitic wasps -- be my guest, please!

) as well as actually making comments myself.

Come now, April, you can do far superior things to this with watercolour. This is just nervously pushing pigments around on wet paper and hope they'll go right. You actually paint.

I hope you're well! It's been a while since we properly caught up. I still have stuff to send you. Argh, hopeless.

*pallanoph Feb 29, 2012 Professional Traditional Artist

I know you've been pretty busy, so it's understandable!

Also, it's been a long time since I've submitted anything I feel is really worth looking at. (That's how I've been feeling about my stuff as of late) I hope that changes when I start making more effort to churn out promotional illustration work.

I've got ideas, now I just need time! (And I'd still love to figure out how to illustrate those wasps...

)

Ah, but your work shows a subtlety that I can't master! I'm just making up for a lack of patience and lack of efficiency/knowledge of more refined methods.
