Floral Symphony: Watercolour Inkblot
Floral Symphony: Watercolour Inkblot” is a celebration of everyday florals, inspired by the beauty found in home bouquets, gardens and neighbourhood walks. The creative process starts with photography, exploring the flowers from various angles. Dynamic ink blots emerge through the use of liquid watercolour, creating an abstract canvas for artistic expression. Using a variety of markers, each flower is carefully illustrated, resulting in a burst of beauty and harmony reminiscent of a fireworks display.
