My favorite farmers’ market opened for the season this past weekend! Because of Eddie Izzard tickets, a belated Mother’s Day celebration and work, we were not upstate for the opening, but I’m really looking forward to another season of the Barryville Farmers’ Market. In honor of my favorite greenmarket, I created a couple of posters for an assignment for my SVA illustration class taught by the wonderful illustrator Melanie Parks.

The illustrations are watercolor and I used Prismacolor pencils for the typography, with some help from Phtotoshop. I wanted to evoke the charm our small market along with the range of delicious fresh food that is available there.

 I can’t wait to go up this weekend and stock up with farmers’ market goodies for the long Memorial Day weekend. I definitely see some grilling happening at the cottage… although, maybe not chicken.
