PAPER CALYX: DESIGN PROCESS

Today, I am to share such beautiful watercolors with our BigBrightBold Desktop Downloads. I like the fluid nature of the watercolor application, and the loose abstract quality of the painted petals.

According to Stacey, “Led by simple forms and a minimal palette, a drawing starts with direct observation of a plant, looking and drawing until a shape emerges that feels just right. The way pigment and water flow on paper is another vital element of my process; I am searching for the balance between control and accident. Instead of a literal representation of nature, my work aims to convey the essence or mood of a botanical specimen.”
