Quentin Greban is another huge love of mine!!!! His watercolours are amazing!!!!! Every time when I look at his illustrations, I want to pick up a brush and try it myself! I adore this media but I am useless with it! It is so light and unforgiving! One wrong stroke and the picture is ruined!
I know that watercolour is not as easy as it looks, and this is one of the reasons why I admire Quentin's technique so much! It is perfect, beautiful, delightful! It is light and vivid at the same time. It is so clean and deep and just mesmerising!! Just have a look!!!

Now Quentin writes and Illustrates his own books as well as the books of other famous authors. He is known all over the world and his books are loved everywhere!!! They are most definitely loved in my house, because they are kind, simple yet very sophisticated with a great deal of mastery and talent!!!!
But enough words - Just enjoy the drawings!!!
