Years before I ventured onto the YouTube platform, I was watching a Munich-based artist known as "Iraville" paint the most wonderful, immersive scenes with her watercolors and soft-spoken narratives.
In those years, I've had the pleasure of engaging with Iraville (Ira Sluyterman van Langeweyde) on occasion and have been captivated by her unique style and densely filled worlds of color, value, and composition.
If there is an artist on social media whom I aspire to be more like, it's her. The dedication to her skills and work is nothing short of humbling.
And in this book, "Hideaways: More Art from Iraville," I was able to bring home a one-on-one conversation where reading her perspectives is like sitting over a cup of tea and learning the secrets of a true pro.
You can find her work on Instagram at @iraville or on YouTube, as well.
Come take a sneak peak at her new book as I discuss some of the reasons why, for me, this will be a fantastic reference tool I'll come back to time and time again!
Cheers and thank you for visiting.
