Jane Austen's Regency Shoe Collection.

April 24, 2016

So, I'm a bit of a Jane Austen freak and I've been having so much fun turning my Georgian shoes into a magazine cover mock up with hand painted lettering. It's certainly kept me on my toes! Playing in photoshop as a complete beginner has had its mind bending moments, but here is my finished piece and the shoes as a pattern repeat. This was my submission for MATS A Self Paced course, you can view it in the online gallery here: http://makeartthatsells.com/galleries/mats-a-self-paced/mats-a-live-review-april-2016/page/4

Alternatively, check out my sketches that evolved into this final piece:

Jane Austen Style Shoe Design

While I'm waiting for some new paint to arrive, before I can finish my 'Woodland Animal' series, I thought I'd begin work on my next project. It's all beginning in my sketch book, with a collection of twelve Georgian Shoes. Come back soon to see how things develop.

Hello Everybody and Happy March, I'm so glad spring is finally here. I've been busy preparing for an end of year exhibition sometime in June, although we haven't decided on the exact date of it yet. It’s the final module in my FdA in Illustration and there's plenty to keep me busy. I've also started an online class with Art Agent Lilla Rogers called MATS Bootcamp. There's one preparation mini which leads into the main assignment each month. This is my work towards our first assignment which is to design a colouring book cover using 1920’s iconography and portraiture. I've decided to use it towards my FdA exhibition, the top sketch is a rough draft of my colouring book cover, I must admit it's been a lot of fun. I'll post the finished design in the coming weeks, but meanwhile you check out some information about the course here: http://makeartthatsells.com
