Artist of the Day: Anne Laval

Anne Laval studied at École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg. She illustrates picture books and other work using colored pencils, watercolor washes and printmaking techniques.

Even with the continuous color blending possibilities of her pencil and watercolor materials, Anne often chooses to draw color areas that are largely self contained, as in these leaf and plant designs, perhaps relating to her experience creating color separations for printing processes. The resulting images have a high-eyeball-impact color style.
