Another artist who works in watercolours is Emma Block: Emma Block Illustration. (2019). Emma Block Illustration. [online] Available at: http://www.emmablock.co.uk/ [Accessed 23 Aug. 2019].
Emma is a watercolour illustrator from the U.K. Emma's work has been commissioned by various companies and she has also published her own books.
Emma's watercolour art has similaries to Lucy Austin's work in that they both have a strong sense of pattern and shape. However Lucy's work is far more abstract and structural where as Emma's work is more illustrative and she quite often has people in her paintings.
Lucy uses the watercolours behavior on the paper to her advantage in the patterns it creates. This is shown in the backgrounds of some of her works. Emma uses watercolour to create fine details and like Lucy uses other media to enhance the piece.
Lucy seems to use the different mediums to create textures whilst Emma uses other mediums to create more fine details.
