Little rascals

by 2 Comments

 

 

I painted these little squirrels recently as part of an illustration I made for a contest. I had some little rascals in mind that run with the marching band. For inspiration I used a picture of Henri Cartier-Bresson from 1952. It’s nice to use the books I have for reference. Below you can also see the preliminary sketches I made.

      Dag Nelleke! Ik weet nog niets over de uitslag en zal moeten wachten tot de opening van de Picturale in Ronse, 23 februari dit jaar. Ik zal al super blij zijn als mijn werk wordt geselecteerd voor de tentoonstelling!
