HEATHER ARNOLD

In 2002 - 2006, I attended classes to learn about the different art/illustration mediums, including - acrylic, pastel, watercolour, water-based oils and life drawing. To gain an understanding of tonal value, design, colour, complimentary colours, the coloured greys and how to employ these in my illustration work... In 2007, I had my first book published called Draw New Zealand Birds, which won the LIANZA Elsie Lockie award for non-fiction in 2008... I graduated from Auckland Technical Institute in 1985 with a Diploma in Graphic Design, and have worked for many years in small design studios and printing companies.
