Idea development begins...
This is a rough sketch using black chalk of the Birds of Paradise I photographed
Another close up sketch using charcoal done on site
I did these watercolours funnily enough for an assignment I did for a different subject, design thinking. I have Birds of Paradise on the brain!
I found the above print design in a Gourmet Traveler magazine a few weeks ago whilst completing an assignment for a different subject and had torn it out just because I liked it. I stumbled across it the other day and the beautiful patterns really inspired me to start thinking about my ever looming textile print... these are some possible Bird of Paradise layouts inspired by the above Del Kathryn Barton print.
These are two possible print layouts I very roughly did on the bus using an ink liner.
