Oriental Inspirations.

For the new section of my project looking into nature overtaking, my collection of monochrome drawings look too similar to my previous monochrome collection. I want this section of the project to have a new fresher feel. I looked to oriental ink drawings for some new inspiration, as my drawings are often done using inks and water colour, I felt this style of working would be fitting. The composition of the ink drawings is something I'd like to take inspiration from, as I think it's important that my designs portray the organic flowing feel that these chinese ink drawings have. This could portray nature overtaking, with the design growing up the page.

Researching into possible colour palettes, I looked into interior companies such as Sacho Hesslein to look at their colour schemes to gather inspiration.



Using my colour scheme research I wanted to experiment using watercolours to create patterns. I'm feeling slightly lost at this point as I feel like I'm trying to recreate marks from the last section of the project, I need a different way of creating marks.
