Little Brother and Little Sister

Here is work-in-progress for another project that I started a while ago. I put it down because other things took over and I felt a bit stuck. It’s loosely based on the Grimm story about siblings who run away to live in the woods; the little boy drinks some enchanted water which turns him into a deer. I have been making short animation clips, oil paintings, watercolour drawings to explore the themes that appeal to me about this story: care/siblings/faith.

I’ll try to share here a few of the images as I make them – this is very much a work-in-progress and I am not aiming towards a particular outcome but hopefully feeling my way towards one.
