It is my wish to one day be able to create work like that of Angela Barrett. In order to develop my work to that high standard I have started by working on a much smaller scale trying to include as much detail as possible as well as improve my drawing and painting technique. Angela Barrett uses a combination of watercolour, gouache and crayons to build up her illustrations with subtle layers of colour.
