Louisa Birdsall
I love nature, especially local wildlife and countryside views. I studied at Grays School of Art and graduated in 2022 in Communication Design. Since graduating I have been exploring my style and expanding my knowledge in illustration.

About My Practice
I like to illustrate with bold limited colour pallets to create landscapes which are familiar yet nostalgic. I enjoy illustrating animals and capture their personalities, whether it’s an inquisitive look or lots of scruffy hairs on their ears.
I work digitally and in watercolour with pen. I love to experiment with different techniques, colours and personifications of wildlife.
Inspired by my local area I connect with nature with a walk along the coast and take inspiration from my surroundings.
Tools & Materials
I print my work on recycled and part-recycled papers which add textures and organic flecks to my work.
I like to use digital sketches to cut down on paper waste. Watercolours and pens are my favourite traditional media to work in to create scruffy animals and children’s book illustrations.
I use an iPad to create bold block colours for my landscape designs, I love the flatness created this way and can mimic screen-print and linocut style.
