A course by Cécile Metzger
Ever since Cécile was little, she has loved being transported to creative universes by the soothing stories of authors such as Claude Ponti. Her watercolors are imbued with stories, feelings, and memories and she places lots of importance on the gentle, delicate nature of drawing.
After having spent some time living abroad, Cécile is now based in eastern France. Illustration is both a career as well as a lifelong passion. She works primarily in children's literature, but it doesn't stop there! Cécile has also created fabric designs for brands like Figo Fabrics, Atelier Coton, and Anthropolgie.
