Studio Notes

From an Illustrator based near to Sheffield, UK sharing my illustration journey...

Inspired by the colour of nature - Watercolour Tree Design

Today, I'm sharing a design I created recently, which I feel would look good on Tea - Towels and other homewares...please let me know your thoughts?  Although the illustration was initially made to work alongside other more Autumnal designs, the colours were inspired to a certain degree by the image below.

Taken in the Spring of 2018 on a trip to the Botanical Gardens in Sheffield, UK. I just loved the soft colours of the Springtime buds and leaves...and whilst no way is it the best photo that I have ever taken, I found I just couldn't delete it... The warm orange / coral tones with the hint of pink, I think work well for both Spring and Autumn designs.
The studio notes this week have matched the mellow mood too, as I have been listening to the Sheffield born Richard Hawley... check out his version of 'Ballad of a Thin Man' here...originally written and sung by Bob Dylan. I like it!

As always thanks for reading!

    Hello!

    In this space which has no ceilings, walls or doors... I would like to invite you in, and share with you some of my work and a few things of interest which help to inspire my illustrations, including music to the places and spaces we call home...
