This week I thought I'd have another go at doing a three page layered drawing.
So here the first page is the window frame, the second is the pot plant sitting at the window and the third is the background page of the door and bookcase.
Hard to tell the layers from this photo though...
Started with a sketch of a window....
And then cut out the 'panes'
The 2nd page... cut out the negative space leaving the pot plant
Now with the window pane overlay
With the 3rd page is in background now yet to be sketched and painted
The start of the sketch. I actually had drawn the door knob down lower (as you can see) only to end up being covered by the window framing, so had to draw it higher
Watercolour pencils and a water-well brush

Wow, Mandy! This is SO cool! You have created a very stunning little scene here, and it's such a fun surprise to have it open up into all those intricate layers! Wow! Love the quote, too. You always come up with just the most perfect thing to say!
Wonderful painting and great work with the window
This is so cool! I love it.
It was not until the internet I learned that people use books for art. I never thought of doing that, only thought of it as reading material because I love reading. I love looking at what others do but can't bring myself to paint on a book or cut it up. lol
I really thought this is a neat idea thought. Very clever.
Very beautiful design!
Love and hugs

The 3D effect of the window pane is beautiful! Always enjoy your illustrations on books -- so eye-catching!
