Visual Journal 1

This pic was posted by a friend on facebook (Thanks Erika!). I am a sucker for this kind of illustrative/watercolour. I really want to get better at doing this type of work. I am thinking they must have used some sort of resist like - frisket to get the white parts and I have a hard time using frisket because it kills my brushes. I like the flat colours, with some mottled effects caused by the watercolour paint. I also like the use of white space around the owl which creates a graphic effect and looks great in reproductions.
