Narrative Illustration - Flip Book Final

 I used a Japanese Account bind when putting together my flip book. Using silver thread I thought it would relate and tie in with the finery of drinking tea during the 17th century. I also added the tassel to match the style of the book. Using silver metallic paint, I painted the edge of the pages like you find silver or gold edges on proper books.

 

I made the flip book quite humourous, Catherine simply pops up, sees the cup of tea and goes back down with a smile and heart eyes. Stunned by the sight of tea.

Tea paintings - Narrative Illustration

I have been doing this project for nearly 4 weeks now but just forgot to add anything. As soon as I did these paintings I was very happy and knew I wanted to pop them up on here!

 P.S Thanks Redbush for the free samples, I am afraid I didn't drink them, but painted instead!
