Description

Theme 1 – Micronature

The inspiration is drawn from the tree and its periphery. The tree growth rings which one can see on the cross-section of the trunk, the texture of the bark, the insects crawling on the bark, and the molecules of the gum. The aim is to observe the fine details and develop textures and rhythms. The colors are inspired by the natural hues but exploration is done with respect to its interaction with other elements.

Theme 2 – Optimism

The inspiration is taken from the corolla of the flower, from its silhouette, veins, and texture. The theme given was optimism so the color palette consists of colors that portray hope, confidence. The colors cheer out the feeling of joy and positivity. The portrayal of boldness is achieved through the proportion and color blocking of colors.

The illustrations are developed manually on paper using pencils and paints and then digitally manipulated to fit into the aesthetic of the composition. The textures are also developed using differen techniques like salt and sugar on watercolor/acrylic paint, blow-drying alcohol inks. After developing the textures on the physical surface, they were scanned for further generate prints.
