Episode 34:

A Dip into Dinotopia, or A Study of Colour and Light

Gouache

Canson cold press 140lb/300gsm

9” x 12”

2021

In which I do a study of @jamesgurneyart ’s techniques from his Dinotopia book.

This was my favourite illustration of his growing up, so it felt like the perfect one to practice how he renders colour and light to create such impressionistic illusions of form 🦖

Hope you enjoy! Final version coming soon.

Materials: Pebeo gouache
