Sweets for Lilla

  Monday I got the March mini assignment from Lilla Rogers Bootcamp.  The theme
is Jell-o molds which so vintage kitch and just my style.  Had fun researching and looking through
a 1950's cookbook I found.  I started sketching very realistically with shading but then started to
simplify the lines.  These cute yet mischievous icons emerged.  Dare to eat one of them!



 

Today I finished this illustration Hold on to Love.  It came out dreamy, 
just what I intended.  Working with watercolor and pencils I painted and drew the first layer.  I wanted the feel of the playground piece I did a while 
ago (see Can I Play? below) and I felt the sky needed something.  Using a white eraser I cut
the flag stamps and inked the pennant flags.  The white pastel in the playground
piece added a mystical feeling so I added that too.  The final touch was a bit of
glitz, the flower sequins. 

Will post my main assignment results next week.  See ya then!
