ACEO The Wild Swans

Description

After about a year of neglect of this project of mine, i bring you a new piece from my ACEO fairytale collection, the Wild Swans. Actually i had drawn both this and Scheherazade (of the One Thousand and One Nights) many months ago but when i got to add colour i found out the paper had developed some sort of mould or gathered dust (anyone have any advice/knowledge to share regarding that?) and both paintings were ruined. It put me off from drawing them all over again until today. :)

On a side note, i enjoyed researching Scandinavian folk costumes so much that i think i'll take a break from the German/French fairytales and do a few Nordic/Russian etc next. Any suggestions?

Pencil, watercolours, white gouache / 6,4 x 8,9 cm (2.5" x 3.5")

hi Acheno89!

 

I’m a blog writer for the website The Fairy Tale Blog. My passion is strong for stories of any kind, but especially fairy tales, and it's my goal to raise awareness of them, and for the beautiful artwork that accompanies them, both those of the past, and current day artists. I am enchanted by your work, and was wondering if I could include an image or two in my next blog post, which will feature the text for both Grimm's The Seven Ravens and Anderson's The Wild Swans. I will be sure to credit your contribution, and include a link to redirect readers to your site. You can reach me at Elizabeth (at) thefairytaleblog.com. Please let me know by Saturday, the 20th. Thank you for your time, and your beautiful art!
