Illustrations made for the professor of forestry engineering, Alexandre Siminski, from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, to compose the chapter on peri-urban areas and food security in the southern region of Brazil, from the book on urban afforestation.
The idea is that the book will be distributed to city halls and materials are being prepared for each region of the country. The book has not yet been released .
I made each compositional element of the scenery by hand, in watercolor and guache, scanned and digitally treated each layer to compose the illustrations.
