"notable excerpts from a few of my watercolor journals, on the pages of old books."
Inspiring art from There is Sun in my Eyes. Follow the link to check out the rest of the set. Oh how I wish I could draw like that! All my journal pages would be in frames instead of notebooks, haha.
This is so beautiful! I would love to have these framed! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried watercolor once, but I gave up before I even started.
I wish I knew how to draw and paint like this! :)
I've always wanted to draw in another book, but I fear that I'd ruin a book over making creative work.
ReplyDeleteokay, im officially in love. i have always wanted to do something like this but havent had the guts to create inside an old book. i want to start working with water colours, they are so pretty but i have no skill with them what so ever!

Not only did this guy create art on an existing Victorian novel, he created another complete story within the story. I especially like p.27 and p.326 in the gallery, and this image he did:

It's on p.10 of the 4th revised version. You can see a slideshow of the whole thing at Tom Phillips' website.
