The Four Seasons
In this project, my client asked for an 8-piece composition in watercolour media or similar to go on the given frames of 55x58cm for a white background. The composition had to be season themed, meaning 8 small pieces for each season of the year (winter, spring, summer and autumn) also incorporating an element from the famous book "Le petit prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupéry, translated to "The Little Prince".
WINTER
For the winter I decided to use cold colours and kept the scheme limited. I included the fox as the element from the book.
SPRING
For the spring my intention was to create a colourful palette and ensure a natural and fresh feel to it. The element added from the book was the rose.
SUMMER
The summer, regardless of the individual satisfactory pieces has managed to be, in my opinion, the most incoherent in terms of composition. On the other hand, most of the ideas were well executed. The element chosen was the planet B612.
AUTUMN
Lastly, autumn has been the most nicely structured season, with a simple colour palette and the overall success of the composition and the use of typography. The element of choice from the book was the baobab.
Watercolor is a medium I enjoy greatly and was willing to
improve further. This project gave me the chance to use
elements such as masking fluid and discover new watercolour
techniques to reach the standards with every individual piece.
It also ticked all the boxes when it came to the overall aesthetic
I wanted to achieve with the project.
It challenged my creativity and allowed for no mistakes. The
overall result was quite rewarding and the client was very
satisfied with it.

Note that although all of it is my own work some individual pieces from Summer and Spring have been created taking inspiration from external sources.
