Set sail for a land of legends with the Castle by the Sea Postcard by Dutch illustrator Lot Bouwes. This atmospheric fairy tale print depicts a majestic castle perched high on a rocky cliff, overlooking a churning sea where a small sailboat braves the waves beneath two shimmering celestial bodies.
Using her signature technique, Lot Bouwes creates these dreamy scenes with pastel chalks which she meticulously blends into the paper with her hands. This intimate, hand-layered process gives the white-capped waves their texture and makes the castle windows and the moons appear to truly radiate light against the soft purple and blue sky.
Printed on premium 300-gram paper, this A6 postcard is a beautiful piece of storytelling art. It is a quintessential addition to a Waldorf nature table for maritime themes, summer storytelling, or to represent the element of water. The back is blank, providing plenty of space for your own personal message.
