I saw this picture in a magazine, and really liked the colours and shapes of the flower. I though it was a great starting point for some work. I used gouache paints to create the image below. I consciously tried to focus on the colours seen rather than the shapes. Overall I think this gives an impressionist effect. 
I then created this mixed media piece; using felt, threads, papers and beads. It was quite fun to make. I think some parts of this are more successful than others, I particularly like the centre of the flower.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your lovely comment.
I can see you love felt as much as me.xx
I like the way your flower gets more and more vibrant!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! It was great fun to use felt, I find the whole wet felting process quite therapeutic!
