She works traditionally, I'm assuming watercolor but I couldn't find out for sure. What I love about these is the delicate paint and patterning around the letters, and also the light narrative. She does a great job of illustrating an alphabet while still making things both legible, having a narrative, and engaging at the same time. Her paintings are very beautiful. She doesn't focus on alphabet drawings, but does more traditionally narrative work as well.
