Meet Hanna Muller, a swedish illustrator. I’m out of words to describe how amazing this drawings are, I’m specially impressed by the attention to detail and the softness of the colors. Her personal style is very defined, probably inspired by the pale colors of the north, she uses very defined lines and a pastel color palette. Many artists who draw or paint portraits usually concentrate on the facial expressions, but what probably differentiates Hannah from the rest is that she brings the attention to the clothes. Notice that she only uses pops of color on the clothes, while the model remains almost black and white. In every illustration we can appreciate the patterns on the fabric, the shape and also the texture. I should probably just let the images talk, enjoy some more:

There is something amazing and probably inexplicable about watercolors. The way the colors blend by the movement of water, and the way you always get completely new and surprising brush strokes, is simply magical. I have always wanted to learn the technique, and in some way I know how to do it, but I haven’t gotten to the point where I can feel how the colors connect and therefore my attempts lack the real feeling. I want to show you this specific pieces, because I felt a very deep inspiration with the way this artists concentrated on the mixture of colors to convey a very rich image, without being literal or queen on details. I found these watercolors at Saachi Online, which is a marketplace for artists to sell their works as originals or as prints.
