Going back to my sketchbooks to work on new backgrounds for my nature panels. I don’t want them to standout, just be a suggestion. I want to imply rather than state the form, to suggest rather than dictate. In this endeavour I study real flora and then exaggerate, possibly embellish forms, thereby making them my own. I try to get to a point where I internalise the design and can without too much effort enlarge and resize according to the piece I am working on.
