Nature

Hi everyone this is the first post for my nature project that I am doing over the next 8 weeks. This week I made a mood board on nature.

My mood board on nature

My mood board mostly focuses on trees and what you find on or near trees. For example bee hives, lakes or tree roots. These are great things to look at because I can find lots of pattern or print ideas that I can use in the ceramics and textile workshops. I like this mood board a lot because it has some detailed close ups of nature that I can use to inspire other parts of this project. I particularly like the bee hive pattern in the bottom right corner of the sheet because it is simple yet alluring and I think the colours work well together even though they are not contrasting. I used the stippling technique for the trees to put in shade and movement to the piece and I used a little of the scraffito  technique to work into the leaf in the top right corner.

Altogether this mood board turned out quite spectacular and I personally am pleased with the outcome. I love the warm feeling the mood board gives off and it reminds me of summertime. I can't wait to produce more work like this in the coming weeks :)
