Recent Work: Verily Magazine






I’ve got a little project to share with you! My friend Jane (now Art Director for Verily Magazine) was looking for someone to help her with some divider pages for the Summer issue of Verily Magazine. She wanted something bold and hand-crafted that she could use to help divide up the sections of the magazine in a cohesive way.

I decided to take on the challenge and do something not only out of my comfort zone, but also something I’ve always wanted to toy around with – watercolors. After playing around with watercolor like a kid in grade school, I landed on 4 section images that all use watercolor in an abstract floral way. Let’s just say that I had a blast working with Jane, Verily and watercolors and I look forward to possibly collaborating with Verily Magazine in future issues.

* My other friend, Mary Frances Foster has a few of her fabulous illustrations in the issue as well! You can also find a beautiful story by the girls of The WeaverHouse.

  1. I love this so much. Big fan of both Verily Magazine and Janes work. The abstract watercolours look so refreshing on a hot summer day, great job!

  2. You killed it, Cassie!! And just because I’m curious … how did you translate your work digitally? I’ve always had a hard time with that.

    Hope you’re doing well, we need to catch up soon!

    1. Hi Bri! Welcome home!

      For this project I played with old fashion watercolors (paint + brush) and came up with lots of little doodles. After I had a bunch of watercolor marks, I scanned all the pages in to the computer. From there I took bits and pieces, cut them out from all the doodles and played with layering in photoshop.

      Once I had all the pieces scanned in and in photoshop, I have a resource of random watercolor shapes to play with. Pretty fun! To make everything look like it was still on watercolor paper…I added a watercolor paper texture to the photoshop file and changed the layer properties to overlay/multiply.

      Let me know if you have any other questions!

  3. This is gorgeous work, Cass! Now I’m gonna have to order an issue so I can see it in its full glory! Love the color palette you chose 🙂
