The illustrator used paper collage to create a sense of age for the building.
Then use delicate brushstrokes to depict the details of the house.
The stilt houses and tree houses are designed in an upright position.
The castle and boathouse are designed with pull-out pages.
Readers can see the 4-page spread.
Clearly see every room of the castle,
And the details of the houseboat from bow to stern!

My hobby since childhood has been painting. I like old houses, ancient people from hundreds of years ago, and counting down the days until Christmas.
