Flirting with florals....

I've been busy working on some freelance commissions over the last couple of weeks, involving lots of hand painted floral artwork which I love doing!    I've been painting in gouache which is quite different for me, and the finished artwork has such a different look compared to the fluid watercolour illustrations I normally produce. 

With the artwork I didn't do any pencil sketches or outlines first - but simply painted directly onto the paper and let my paintbrush decide the finished result. 
Once the artwork is finished I'll create designs that are in repeat ready to be translated onto fabrics for cushions and homewares!  These are some of the works in progress....

  1. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

    I remember using gouache at art school, a tricky medium to start with but I grew fond of it after while. Great for solid strong colours.
