Happy Slapsgiving!

I've been studying my favorite illustrators. Here's a practice piece in the style of Alice and Martin Provensen. I read they use oil on vellum, but I don't know if that's what they've always done. This is based on the art style/palette they used for their fairy tale book from the sixties. I used what I had on hand: fake water-soluble oils and fake canvas and did the line with a black sharpie.

My mom and Nana and their dog, Calvin, joined us for turkey day and it was super delicious. We watched Ratatouille and it was trés bon, bien sur. I gave thanks for not being a cook in the middle ages. Or a middle aged cook. Yet.
