Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
A book in response to the ‘areyou book enough’ April challenge which was ‘Machine'. I didn’t want to go down the route of cogs and engines so decided to base my contribution on Victorian Bathing Machines which were designed to preserve the modesty of well brought up Victorian ladies at the beach. For the artwork I used acrylic paint in a palette of the three process colours, cyan, magenta and yellow, with the addition of white. It’s bright and cheerful which works with the stylized figures. I was aiming for a children’s illustration type of feel. The book is injet printed and folded into a simple concertina which fits into the wheelbase of the bathing machine to hold it shut |
