I wanted to share something that I'm really excited about; I feel like I've had one of those lightbulb moments. About a week ago a question popped into my head "Why don't I use pattern in my artwork?" Looking around my home at my favourite household items, clothes and furniture I realised that I love pattern, but it rarely features in my art.
Inspired by some photographs that I took of the bees and lavender in our garden, I started to experiment with mark making and paper cutouts.
Currently my go to mediums are pencils and fineliners. I really enjoy observation drawing, and I want to keep this within my work, but I want to focus on key details; like I've done for the bee's wings.
I hope you enjoy the final outcome as much as I've enjoyed making it. I'm looking forward to exploring this way of working further.
