Katharine Asher

So I was going to write about Katharine, but I thought she said it better: "I have worked as a freelance within illustration and design for many years, specialising in figurative work. My early formal training at Harrow College of Art focused on strong traditional drawing skills, the ability to think in three dimensions and a thorough understanding of anatomy and movement. This has proved to be the backbone of my skill base, enabling me to attract work from a wide variety of commercial sources from publishing and advertising to film."
I guess I just love illustrations, but figures and gesture drawings are my favorite. I also think there is something romantic about watercolor, maybe it's the softness, maybe it's how it can be use in so many different ways, for so many different moods, but I love it.
I like Katherine's work because it's so classically feminine yet modern. 
Also, I love her treatment of eyes; eyes really are the doors to our soul, so how an artist captures the eyes dictates the mood of the work.
