I love to paint and draw circular motifs in my patterns... Suzanis, flowers, snowflakes... concentric circles, dividing a circle up... It's all good fun. I also love to layer which is something I would like to do more in my digital work. Here's some experiments with watercolour layering that I hope to go digital with very soon...
Painting these circles feels like some form of therapy! I'm pretty sure I could do it all day given the chance. I love how the layers create new colours, the happy accidents where edges bleed and the imperfections...
The colours and shapes brought to mind an underwater world - anemones, urchins, shells and deep sea flora and fauna.
I took it a step further and started to draw over my circles with white gel pen and various inks.
I feel like this is the start of something really exciting so expect to see lots more of this!
