So this week I have decided that this has been going on for too long and I really just want something to fall into place. I am getting MASSIVELY frustrated with the work I am currently producing so I have decided to go back to the Urban jungle Cafe and try and get some new motivation. I did some more research into the wallpaper company WallFlora and was really impressed with there wallpaper designs and decided that would be something I wanted to aim for.
I decided to create my brief based on Wallflora as a company and design wallpaper I could see being sold on their website. I wanted to aim the final result to be displayed as something they would be happy to sell so I looked at the quality and the sizes of their wallpaper as well as colours to see what they would be interested in if i was ever to approach them with work or as if I was one of their wallpaper designers.
I decided to go back to what I enjoy doing - watercolour. I started doing some more watercolour tests in the back of my sketchbook to try and look at how I could get texture by layering it up over and over again, allowing it to bleed. I look the shapes of the leaves that I had sketched using fine liner and on photoshop cut out the watercolour using the leaf stencil to create some watercolour leaves. This worked really well luckily because it meant that the leaves didn't have an outline or shape they were all just this interesting texture. I began to look at how I could layer them to create a repeat motif.
