TALES AND LEGENDS IN WATERCOLOR

Freelance illustrator Teresa Jenellen incorporates a little bit of fantasy and mystery into each of her pieces which all seem to tell a story. “As a child I was obsessed with the colour illustrations in old books such as The Land Where Tales Are Told , I must have been well known for my love of books and was given quite a few by elderly neighbours. I remember flicking through the stories, looking for the glossy colour pages. The images were watercolour, in lovely muted colours. I particularly liked the blue, which I use quite often in my own work. I also draw inspiration from theatre and film, and imagery in novels, I quite often find myself rushing for the sketchbook after a particularly good read.”
