watercolor-remix-akai-happa-no-kaze-100x200
A remix in illustrator of a previous water colour painting
Taken from scans, I have traced the image and re-drawn areas in illustrator to give contrast amongst the soft areas of the painting. Extended the painting and recomposed it.

paper cut design
This paper cut was inspired by the hard lines of Japanese origami. I used a flower made from paper as the subject to create a pattern design. The hard lines give it a different feel to that which is derived from the organic form.

connections-full

connections-closeup
close up of the hand painted pattern
This is the second part of my acrylic on board series. I intend to do 3 paintings of this type. The idea being to create a hand painted pattern that takes on an organic feel but still repeats and maintains its form.

infinate-paper-cut-out

Cut out leaves and flower with both leaves in the positive and the inverse. Both equally challenging. This is my first try at cut out and I found it a really interesting way to work.

water-color-leaf-spiral

I took this work a little further this time and was free with my initial application of paint. To get this effect I used a paper stencil and replicated the leaf pattern in the background. I then added the more solid overlays of patterns and shapes by painting with thicker paint.

cut-out-look-watercolor-experiment

A follow up to my article on cut out art where I talked about sharp edges created by cut paper. This was an attempt to emulate the effect with paint. Of course the edge is not as clean but using a vivi color on white makes for a interesting design. After experimenting with this I used some washed colors in the background. Bright red with subtle blue.
