Natural Collection | Tropical fish

Tropical Fish 

While doing some research on tropical plants for my university project, I came across tropical fish and decided to give it a go and do some watercolour painting of some of the most interesting fish. The ocean is something I love to research so it fits nicely with my shell pieces. I mainly stuck to similar colour themed fish, looking at the yellow and blue pallet. 

Natural collection | Friends Spain trip

Spain

One of my house mates recently went on a trip to Spain. While she was out there she collected some interesting stuff on the beach. She brought back some really nice pieces of sea pottery and although there was not that many full shells she found some really pretty piece of shell. She even found a starfish which i thought was really interesting as I have never found any of these before. 

I add one of my shell drawings with it as I had one left of the blue mussels. I hope to do some work based on the pieces she brought back next.

Eaton park Norwich 

On my walk to Eaton park i made a small collection of some things I found on the way. Autumn is a really nice time to fine bright leaves and seeds. I did a quick watercolour of one leaf i found. 

Natural collection | tropical flowers

Tropical flowers

In a recent university project I am looking at tropical flowers and leaves for a print pattern motif. I did some drawings of some of the tropical flowers both in fineliner and watercolour. It would be good to try some more exotic natural collection drawings,
