La Rose Des Sables (Illustr
Selene Bulger
thank you so much for these two rose videos, I have stuggled with the leaves for some weeks now (they end up muddy and fuzzy and overworked!). hopefully I can have a better go after seening your approach.
In France, Rose became an intimate acquaintance of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, the former helping to launch his painting career by commissioning several of his works (most notably a portrait of herself) for her own notable art collection. Her memorable utterance, "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" dates from 1913; however, long before her acquaintance with the artist, who would go on to have exhibits in Paris, London, and New York. He also worked as an illustrator for a cookbook by Toklas, The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook.
I made two little sketches. The top one is how I would usually do it, and the bottom one has a more flat table, as Sarah showed in her course. I like to let go of perspective a bit more so I transfer the bottom sketch in my Hahnemuhle toned watercolour sketchbook. I always try not to center the illustration too much, to keep it playful.
This is the end result! I love the colour swatches on the left page as it sums up the colours used in the illustration.
The sketchbook has a soft pink/brown tone which is a lovely background colour. So much softer than a white or off-white colour. I added white gouache for certain details, which pops off the page.

I've been wanting to try gouache for a while now and I think you've just convinced me. I love how it looks in an art piece and of course, your illustrations are always so beautiful! Thanks for sharing this Meghann! :)

Early heralds made no distinction between heraldic roses and cinquefoils, considering both the blazons and emblazons interchangeable (as in the cadet arms of the Darcy family through the 14th Century). They are thus negligibly different in Society armory. Period heraldry has rare instances of four-petaled or six-petaled roses (e.g., the arms of Rosenberger, 1605 [Siebmacher 215]); these variants are likewise negligibly different in Society armory, and indeed are often left unblazoned.
The lily is a flower with a stylized heraldic form. It was the flower of the Virgin Mary and was a symbol of purity and virtue; in period heraldry, though not found as early as the rose, it was second only to the rose in popularity. Lilies are found in the arms of Mayo, 1504 [Parker 371].
Recent low water levels in Green Bay illustrate the dynamic interactions between the bay and adjacent habitats. Water level changes most drastically affect the vegetation in marshes on Point au Sable and other coastal wetlands. During periods of persistent high water, an open water complex develops across most of the low areas. In years of extremely low water, like 1999, large areas of mud flat are exposed in the lagoon and marsh. Annuals such as soft-stemmed bullrush (Scirpus validus) recolonize the exposed flats and become a dominant feature of the wetland vegetation. As the water levels return to normal, the marsh will slowly succeed back to cattails (Typha spp.).
Rose des sables est un conte écrit dans un langage turbulent, audacieux, qui soutient avec vigueur la narration du voyage téméraire de l'enfant du désert, oracle des mutations. C'est un conte de tous les temps... le temps immémorial du désert et de la lente formation des roses des sables. Illustrations en couleurs d'Adam Nidzorski.
Leonardo went deeper into the viscera, and sought to understand the function of the underlying structures, rather than merely their existence. His drawings of the muscles are accurate and detailed, but to better understand their pulling action he created a schema that represented the muscles with cords and strings. There being no anatomy atlas to guide him in his dissections, Leonardo was forced to blaze a trail, and made some beautiful illustrations of anatomy [13], including pictures of the skeleton, various organs, and even the pregnant uterus. His pictures of the limbs illustrate the dynamic relationships of the bones from different points of view, front, back, and sides.
Netter stood on the shoulders of predecessors in both his art and in medicine. He did not create his own specimens, as did the Hunter brothers. Unlike Leonardo, who had to discover for himself the anatomy he depicted, Netter had great practitioners and researchers teach him the latest thinking in medical practice and knowledge. He was the most prolific of medical illustrators, having created more than 4000 pictures for Ciba alone [6].
Using opaque watercolor, what artists call gouache, he created his beautiful pictures (Fig. 4). He would sketch out the picture on thin tissue paper, often quickly, and using graphite transfer paper, transfer the image to illustration board. Then, with his masterful brush strokes, he would lay down the paint, beginning with the next to darkest colors, adding the next-lighter tones and then the next-lighter, and continuing with the next-lighter, as the picture came into being. He created dramatic images, which are superb illustrations, and powerful teaching aides [6].

Robert Cushman Butler, cousin of the famed actress Charlotte Cushman, lived inChestnut Hill, near Philadelphia. As an avocation, he collected theatricalillustrations, manuscripts, and books, apparently with the intention of bindingpublished theatrical material from his personal collection into new, or"Grangerized" editions of theatrical books. Grangerized books consist of casualinserts or published texts ("extra-illustrated texts") combined together in newcovers to make idiosyncratic versions of texts that were not actually publishedtogether (or even published at all). This "scrapbook assembly within a book" isnamed after James Granger, who promoted such practices in his Biographical History of England (1769). Although Butler completed twovolumes in this fashion, there exist about seven others that needed only certainillustrations before being sent to the binder. For this reason, the bulk of Butler'scollection consists of engravings, lithographs, and a few photographs of theatricalperformers. Butler's collecting appears to have started in a serious fashion around1880. Possibly as a result of ill health, he abandoned his efforts in the late1920s. During this period, however, he avidly followed auction sales, patronizeddealers, and corresponded with other collectors: the result of Butler's efforts is apremier archive of theatrical materials. After his death in the mid 1930s his widowplaced the entire collection in the attic of their home. There it sat undisturbeduntil the early 1970s, when Dr. Terry Theodore, then of the Washington StateUniversity Department of Speech, learned of its existence. He negotiated with Mrs.Butler for its purchase, eventually acquiring the Robert Cushman Butler Collectionof Theatrical Illustrations for the Washington State University Libraries.
The Robert Cushman Butler Collection of Theatrical Illustrations consists of over3,000 items relating chiefly to eighteenth and nineteenth century British andAmerican theater. Original materials include engravings, lithographs, photographs,books, playbills, programmes, music sheets and covers, pamphlets, play manuscripts,prompt books, letters and other theatrical papers. For the theatre historian of thisperiod this archive is a treasure trove. The illustrations of the different actorsand actresses in their famous roles, the well-known and little known portraits ofthe great stars and the little comets in all aspects of theatrical history rangingthrough the minstrel stage to the "legitimate" theatre--from Broadway to as faroff-Broadway as London and San Francisco--represent an a unparalleled theatricalresearch collection. Although theatrical illustrations were Butler's main interest,he managed to acquire a rich array of materials for scholarly study in a variety ofdisciplines, including cultural and social history in Britain and America in theeighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Foremost among these resources are the illustrations themselves, which provide a richresource of iconographical history in American and English life in the eighteenthand nineteenth centuries. For scholars in art history and the history of printing,the multitude of engravings, etchings and lithographs are a vital source ofinformation on schools, influences, techniques, and skills.
The music sheets also represent a significant field of study. Of the over fourhundred music covers in the collection approximately one fourth are completed withall the words and music, have the first page of music, or list all contemporarypublications of that publisher. Unfortunately, Butler's interest in the coverillustrations meant that much of the music that might have been originally availableis missing here.
