Drawing Process
Developing on from my initial imagery, I created a series of paintings depicting the florals of my chosen landscapes. Using watercolour and gouache, these illustrations aimed to maintain a washy, organic tone, mimicking the flowing nature of the natural forms. A combination of bright, enticing colours balanced by subtle, earthier hues, these paintings formed the basis of my colour collections.
Weave
Working with collage and weaving together fragments of paintings alongside painted strips transforms the figurative floral illustrations into a blur of colour and pattern. This approach embraces the expressive potential of collage and the rich interplay of surface. It gave added dimension to my drawing and allowed it to take on a more experimental approach, which i then carried through into my print and designing process.
