Peter The Rabbit: The Journey of telling the tale

DA2000 – Final Project.

For our final project, we were given the choice of doing painting compositions or linocut printing. I chose painting because I wanted to learn the different painting techniques – such as layering, water colour, dry brush, inking with a pen, and I wanted to tell the tale of Petter the Rabbit in an illustrative manner.

After experimenting with different compositions for telling different parts of the story, and with the different colour compositions, I decided to do my final pieces on the compositions found from the coloured sketches in #04 and #05, and the last composition in #09.
