Magical Years: Memories & Sketches by Cecilia Brainard — pictures

December 23, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

 

magical years

I’m excit­ed about my book, Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketch­es, which col­lects 43 of my reed and pen and ink draw­ings. Some of you have been fol­low­ing my progress as a sketch­er since Decem­ber last year, when I picked up a sim­ple book about sketch­ing and start­ed draw­ing, first in pen­cil, then pen and ink, and lat­er bam­boo reed, which Van Gogh did — I love his reed drawings!

Cre­at­ing these draw­ings has been an inter­est­ing jour­ney. As I strug­gled with the craft, images started com­ing to me, and I felt com­pelled to try and cap­ture my child­hood mem­o­ries in Cebu. The artist Tony Perez gave me use­ful cri­tiques; thank you Tony.
Here are some pic­tures from my book. This is a spe­cial lim­it­ed edi­tion of 100 copies. Each hard­bound book (size 8x8) is signed and num­bered. It’s mar­ket­ed sole­ly by PALH; please con­tact palhbooks@gmail.com for more infor­ma­tion. Mer­ry Christmas!

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
