Illustrations by Bec Winnel
Bec Winnel is an Australia based illustrator known for her soft, feminine portraits of supermodels & beautiful young women. Using a mixture of coloured pencils, pastels & watercolours she creates highly realistic, detailed work with a hazy, dream-like quality.
The painstaking level of detail in her pieces is breathtaking & they really have to be viewed at a large scale to be fully appreciated. Take the first image of Ginta – The tiny fluffy hairs on the bridge of her nose, the delicate freckles, the texture of the skin & flecks of glitter in the eyeshadow. These are all tiny, almost insignificant details but they are rendered so precisely, so beautifully & they take these pieces to a whole new level.
Her website is worth checking out just for the beautiful & unique design of it alone (it’s making me want to revamp!), but of course there are lots more of her lovely illustrations there to swoon over too, I would definitely recommend it.

wow I wish I could actually do something like this. She is very talented and I have seen her work before. The attention to the detail and the feminine soft lines/colours are incredible. PS the wine or oxblood jacket looks superb on you, it can may do to you what introducing white pieces did for my wardrobe and style xx

I agree, I don’t think I have the patience for something this intricate. I was reading an interview with her & she said she spends upto 60 hours on each piece!
And thankyou! I’m definitely hunting for a few more oxblood pieces :)

She has the most amazing illustrations, so soft and lifelike. ‘Honor’ was something I was coveting for AGES and then it went on sale or a special promo and of course, I had no money. When I did get some money, it was sold out :o(

Oh no! It would have looked lovely on a wall too :( I always do that with anything that’s limited edition, when I want it I can’t afford it & when I have cash it’s gone! Boo!
