Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
These illustrations were prompted by an Orange Beak's Instagram challenge #OBOnceUponAWinter. The challenge was to create 6 illustrations based on 6 prompts that together formed a sequence. The first prompt 'The Guest' triggered an unhappy childhood memory and so I was motivated to create a more positive sequence of events, creating a story championing kindness.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
All images were painted traditionally in watercolour and coloured pencil.

How were your illustrations used:
The illustrations were posted as a sequence on Instagram as part of the challenge during December 2023. The illustrations also form part of my portfolio. Further illustrations form the story of two strangers finding friendship through shared interests and the awareness of kindness.
