swim

swim, verb ~ to propel the body through water

Find inspiration and spend time creating, rather than searching with this 25 page collection. This carefully curated collection includes 35 images of water creatures, as well as suggestions for their use. From bathers in vintage swimsuits to seascapes, as well as natural elements, such as seashells, fish, and a whale, this collection has much to inspire. Image sources include Victorian ephemera, museum collections, and Japanese art, most of which are well over 100 years old.

Images come in a range of colour palettes, including sepia (aged images) as well as black ink. There is even a mermaid!

Pictured here are selections from a few of the full images in the digital collection (i.e., what is shown is a portion of the full image you will receive).

While I have edited the images to ensure they are of the quality that I would use in my artwork, many are vintage so they may included marks or other signs of aging. They are perfectly imperfect!

All images are open access (copyright free) ~ see statement of use included with the download for more details.
