My main aim behind this illustration was to try and reproduce on paper that same exact feeling of relaxation and peace that I felt when I had imagined the image in my head. I wanted to use a range of different soft colours to do this. I layered the sea with green, yellow, blue, pink and purple colours to give it a colourful and soft textured appearance. It was my last minute decision to add highlights to the young girl’s hair. I wanted to make her hair stand out and ripple in the water and this is the exact effect I produced. The illustration is deliberately simple because I wanted the viewer to feel the emotions of peace and calm which would have been lost if the illustration was elaborate.
