Bloomfield &#8211; New book!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My name is Ainsley Bloomfield, and I am a student in the Illustrating Children&#8217;s Books course. &nbsp;Since I&#8217;ve been enrolled, I have gained tremendous confidence and illustrated, written, or self-published several children&#8217;s books. &nbsp;My latest book is&nbsp;<em>My Country, &#8216;Tis of Thee: An Old Song Re-sung for America 250. &nbsp;<\/em>This book recreates an American patriotic song from 1831 (famously set &nbsp;to the same tune as Britain&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>God Save the King.<\/em>) &nbsp;It is intended to celebrate my country&#8217;s 250th anniversary in a joyful, childlike manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My vision for the book came to me suddenly in the shower at the end of last summer. &nbsp;While I had wanted to create a patriotic children&#8217;s book for a while, I now had a vision of artwork to go with each line. &nbsp;Since the book has a historical theme it touches on a few difficult topics, and rendering them in a kid-appropriate way proved a fascinating challenge [see the painting of the grieving pilgrims below]. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started by creating a dummy so the text lined up with the envisioned artwork. &nbsp;I did not actually begin drawing finals until January 14, 2026. &nbsp;There are 12 full-spread ink and watercolor paintings, 4 single-page paintings, 5 facing vignettes, and the cover. &nbsp;Each painting evokes some aspect of American history, culture, or landscape. &nbsp;The project took roughly 250 hours to complete. &nbsp;The final week I did 45 hours of artwork and 10 hours of setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I use Arches Hot Press paper on pre-stretched blocks so as not to worry about wrinkling. &nbsp;My brushes are fine-pointed rounds, a mixture of sable and synthetic, my inks are Winsor and Newton, and my watercolors are Winsor and Newton (various grades) or Daniel Smith. &nbsp;I like painting wet-on-dry for accuracy, but use wet-on-wet for skies, backgrounds, and special effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once finished, I sent the paintings off to my graphic designer, Becca, who expedited scanning and formatting to get the project to the printer on time (May 13th). &nbsp;The books ship on June 17th, to arrive with time to spare before US Independence Day. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back, this project was a lesson in both trusting my personal vision and working under extreme pressure. &nbsp;I accepted that the idea was good enough to act on, then planned the best route to uncertain success. &nbsp;Given the choice, I would never work under such pressure again. &nbsp;But the confidence I have gained from knowing I was able to do it and delight in it has been entirely worth the pain. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favorite piece of art for this project was hard to choose. &nbsp;It is either the grieving pilgrims, Washington, D.C.&#8217;s iconic cathedral (which I visited in preparation), or this peaceful scene of rocks and a mountain goat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book will be free on Amazon Kindle between June 24th and June 29th. &nbsp;Afterwards, a beautiful high-quality paperback edition will be available. &nbsp;$1 of proceeds from each paperback will be donated to homeless veterans through the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
