The project

Behind the work

Painting Sir Proper

The Beaufort Bonnet Company asked me to paint a dapper stork as its mascot. Watercolor gave the illustration the soft edges and lightness I wanted for Sir Proper.

From watercolor to fabric

I’ve included the original painting alongside finished pieces, where the stork’s details translate into embroidery and printed fabric.
