As a freelance illustrator I specialize in traditional and digital cut paper collage for the children's market. The Rainbow Trout is a personal piece I recently created in an effort to play with a new technique that involves working with overlays and watercolor washes. For this piece I created washes of watercolor on illustration board and scanned them in to Photoshop. Then I placed a hand-drawn sketch in Photoshop and built up each element of the drawing in layers with textured clipping masks. To create the transparency in the rainbow water I used overlays and varying opacities for each color.
This process allows me to easily adjust colors, compositions, and textures within my illustrations towards the end of a piece's development. I have used this process while working for clients such as National Geographic Kids Magazine, Kids Can Press (Schools Days Around the World, Spring 2015), and World Book Encyclopedia.
