One of the most important requirements that parents put forward to children's books are high-quality, beautiful, bright and kind pictures. After all, kids first of all learn this world visually, looking at pictures, and only then absorb what is written under these pictures. Therefore, the French artist Rebecca Dautremer loves to illustrate literature for children - this is the most grateful audience, and drawing is a pleasure for her. Rebecca Dotremer is French to the core. She was born and raised in Paris, received an art education there, and got a job as an illustrator. The girl has always loved children, so it is not surprising that her favorite orders were sets of illustrations specifically for children's books. And then she herself began to write children's fairy tales, stories, stories and poems.
Of course, Rebecca Dotremer designs her books herself. Therefore, her books turn out to be very warm, sincere, filled with positive energy, and it is impossible not to appreciate what they deserve. The artist writes about fairy-tale worlds and characters - about fairy-tale, not transcendental, and therefore princes and princesses, kings and his subjects, knights and beautiful ladies who need to be saved, protected and certainly love and perform feats in the name of love appear in her books …
One of the most famous books illustrated by Rebecca Dotremer is called Princesses oubliees ou inconnues, a kind of encyclopedia of fairy princesses. Also noteworthy is the Chinese version of "Cyrano" performed by Rebecca. By the way, the oriental theme is often traced in the illustrations of the French artist. In addition to children's books, she also draws advertising prints, in particular, a series of prints for the Kenzo perfume advertising campaign.
