Next cornes composition: spirals, diagonals, circles and squares within squares. Colour is instinctive. I know if I want to use cold colours or warm, pale or bold, tho gh I confesa to a preference for blues, browns and green." Characters develop as ho immerses himself in reading and re-reading of the story. Scri te that appeal moet strogy t Sanwine often enierge out of bis keen interest in history -- primarily the inedieval and Renaissance periods and the lSth oentury.

'The monsters I recently uSed in a series of illustrated library curses derived from medieval manuscripta such as the 'Book of Hours. Cstumes, armour, furniture are ail carefullY investigated and& as far as possible, historically correct." lIn the pictures uaed in the exhibition, Sangwine tries to appeal to viewers through drarnatie use of lin. and colour and also through humour.
