The Fox and the Grapes

Aesop’s Fables are the most beloved fables of all time! To draw attention to the less well known ones I set about about trying to illustrate them. The fox and the grapes was the first one I was drawn to.

I designed three images to match the fable and I played with different ideas for each one, I can’t leave watercolour alone at present so two feature a watercolour element.

Illustrating these fables will allow me to build up a portfolio of work so in time I may well be able to approach authors to show examples of my work, plus I can get in lots of illustrative practice!

“A hungry Fox saw some fine bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine that was trained along a high trellis, and did his best to reach them by jumping as high as he could into the air. But it was all in vain, for they were just out of reach: so he gave up trying, and walked away with an air of dignity and unconcern, remarking, “I thought those Grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour.”

Oddkness

Hi, I am a self-taught watercolourist from England, I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

My work is devoted to the glorification of animals, being deprived their companionship in childhood has led me to become even more enchanted by their existence. I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do — don’t be a stranger, I’d love to hear from you.

Hi, I’m Laura, a joyful vegan and watercolour dabbler! I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

I like making a mess with masking tape, ink and watercolours in the name of our feathery, furry and not so furry friends.

If you share my passion, would like to make a purchase, or just want to say ‘Hi’… feel free to contact me.
