5 out of 5 starsbeautiful prints on high quality paper. They look great and I am really pleased with them.
I ordered 12 x 16 and they had to be cut down very slightly, by about 2mm to fit a standard John Lewis 12 x 16 frame. -

Drawing together at Making Uncovered
Art is a source of joy
Hello! My name is Elena Blanco and I'm the artist behind all the creations in this shop.
WHAT I DO
I do drawing and illustration of everything and anything. I do patterns, flowers, people, cities, animals, abstract, landscapes... I like exploring all subjects. I find lots of joy in art.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
I studied architecture in Barcelona. I loved the creative part of my studies but I didn’t enjoy working in an office so much. Nevertheless I worked in architecture for years until I had my children. Then I rediscovered the wonders of childhood and wanted never to forget them again.
I was fascinated by children's books and gave up my career determined to become a children's book illustrator. I started by creating a few of my own picture books but unfortunately I couldn't get them published. Trying to find a way to sustain my art practice, I asked people for advice. A friend suggested I tried Etsy. With prints from those early books I opened my shop in 2011.
My business' breakthrough was discovering people liked my customised illustrations. This happened quite accidentally but very soon the demand grew and I have through the years made lots of privately commissioned illustrations. I feel very lucky to be able to work with people's stories to produce art for them. This opportunity has helped me develop my art in many new directions.
These days I'm focusing on my own artistic projects. Creating collections, working on a graphic novel and a few children's book ideas.
HOW I CREATE
When I work on something new, I start with lots of doodling. Letting myself play and enjoy my painting. Sometimes I do watercolour, gouache or ink washes over lots of sheets of paper. From each one something different will develop. I get into a bit of a creative trance and lots of ideas come in to guide my work. These ideas are based on my sketchbook work or on images I've seen somewhere. Sometimes is a technique I want to try, sometimes a combination of colours. Visiting galleries inspires me a lot and after some exhibitions I get very creative.
For my more illustrative/figurative work, I'm always inspired by stories. Stories are everywhere, in books, in films, in what people say...
I work at a messy home studio created in a corner in my living room. When the mess becomes unbearable I start tidying up and unfinished drawings appear that inspire me again. I draw every day, even if it's just a doodle. Drawing keeps me inspired and joyful. I use mainly watercolour and ink because of their beautiful luminosity.

Elena Blanco
Owner, Artist
Because of my background in architecture I approach my work from design and composition. Because of my love of literature and philosophy, stories and ideas are a constant source of inspiration.

Paper and printing quality
My prints are produced with a technique called giclée where archival inks and fine art paper are used resulting in an excellent colour and texture reproduction (you'd find it hard to tell the print from the original) Archival inks mean the colours will not fade with sunlight.
