Illustration Masterclass With Catherine Rayner

Join Catherine Rayner, award-winning author and illustrator of Augustus and His Smile, Sylvia and Bird and Ernest for an exclusive illustration master class looking at how to illustrate picture books and creative techniques.

Catherine Rayner employs the use of subtle colour and tone whilst playing with scale, composition and open space to create paintings and silk-screen prints of animals.

Her creatures are brought to life using spontaneous and vivacious line that explores movement and personality. With effortless flow Catherine's artwork explores the natural habitat and beauty of creatures many of us take for granted. Facial expressions illustrate curiosity whilst the animals' postures suggest that they have simply strayed into the frame and might just as easily leave it again.

Suitable for ages 15 and over.
