One of the openings of our book is set in the dark of night and being new to illustrating with watercolours I didn’t know how to get the effect we were after.
Then I remembered that my grandmother had illustrated a book my Mum wrote.
My granny had used a palette of blue-greys for the night time pictures, so I studied those and came up with my own approach.
I had forgotten that you’re a second-generation children’s author. Amazing.
I want to see *your* night-time!
I know, what a tease! Jeff hasn’t gone over the outlines yet. And then it has to be scanned. All will be revealed!
