This task was to make and eight page book (front and back covers with six double spreads) based of off a song. I used the song "The other mans grass" by Petula Clark. I used watercolour and ink because I wanted to make the piece about someone's washed out life caused by depression "the other mans grass" being happiness represented by the sun was the brightest part of the piece

<![CDATA[Peter Pan: the poster]]>Sun, 21 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMThttp://awatsonillustratrion.grillust.uk/year-one-semester-1/peter-pan-the-posterPicture

















This is the poster that I decided to go with, I used pen ink and watercolour paint because this material is easy to used and the colours turned out how I wanted them to. I like how the pen interacts with the watercolour. I feel that it gives the piece certain textures on different pieces.
