Kids & Archeology Tools

I am currently painting many small illustrations themed around archaeology and my fieldwork as an Egyptologist, because my children’s book on ancient Egypt will feature a special little highlight in every chapter: a personal note written from my perspective as an Egyptologist. I’m sharing something I experienced—something I found particularly fascinating—during my travels in Egypt. Naturally, these moments need to be beautifully illustrated.

For this, I’ve used new watercolor paper. This time, it’s 100% cotton paper, and I have to say—the difference compared to cellulose paper is simply huge. I plan to paint exclusively on cotton paper from now on, even if it means a higher investment. It’s worth it!
