The Windy

by Odera Igbokwe

The Windy (Study)

Acrylics & Gouache on heavyweight mixed media paper (270 gsm)

5.5 x 8.5 inches

In these trying times creating new work has brought on a new set of challenges. To find my flow and rhythm again, I have started doing more painting studies directly into my sketchbook. Some of these spreads are reclaiming or recreating stories and images that inspired the early stages of my creative journey.

The Windy is a primal/elemental from the 90s shoujo anime/manga, Card Captor Sakura. Her design and color palette is serene and encapsulates the warmth of a gentle breeze, while also pointing towards the transformative chaos of a storm. The flexibility and adaptability needed to wield this power is something that I have kept in mind as a guiding light.
