SLOW CITY. Labyrinth 5. THE SERENDAVA
SLOW CITY. 59x79cm Acrylic on Paper. Ibiza 2020.
Hi Steemians,
here is Illustration 5 of the book The Serendava.
These illustrations I painted back in 2020 for the book-game I have created over the past 2 years. I now have the prototype mounted and will be looking for a publisher this Autumn when I finish my Summer job that takes up a lot of time.
The Serendava is the name I have given to this book of Labyrinths for children to use. Now I will only be sharing one painting at a time on each post so that one can be taken into the details and travel the images. Once I have shared with you the 16 images I will then make a post on how this book will be used.
I want these images to be in the Blockchain. I think it´s important.
This fifth image is the Labyrinth that can be travelled though on the paths and steps that take you even up over the rainbows.
This one is about a city that has no cars or petrol run vehicles. The buildings are inspired in shells and snails represent slow and observant animals.
Here are some details...
Here are some of the images I found of the process it went through when I painted it:
I got this idea and created a sketch in my booklet.
I´m not one to plan a painting but in this case I did start very carefully from a pencil drawing.
Then I started adding the colour.
Almost finished... just needing all the details..
So finally it functionally looks like this.
Here is a post in the past, of when I had these images made digitally.
