Layers of big color on printed papers make me endlessly happy. It’s a never ending stream of combinations in paint and print and pattern. And color, of course. I’m in a watercolor & gouache mood lately and having fun playing with puddles of color like this. Recurring shapes like come up again and again, shapes from nature, tree branches and streams, cobwebs and spirals. All variations of these. #day12 #21daysinmyartworld #currentmotifs #myfamiliarpatterns #howidoodle #paintinginbooks #alteredbook #watercolorgouache

Patterns in light. Happy accidents.

Reflecting on patterns. Wibbly lines. All that. . #reflectionsinwater #patternseverywhere #artiseverywhere

Watching the world swim by. Happy new week, friends. #regentspark #duckslife #mondayagain #keeponswimming

Ruth Issett is a textile artist. She’s an author, teacher and she’s the queen of color. She’s a huge inspiration in my world. I met her once at a textile show, I was quite star struck. . These 3 books by Ruth, ‘Glorious Papers’, ‘Colour on Cloth’ & ‘Colour on Fabric and Paper’ are full of fabulously juicy, rich, colourful designs, patterns in texture from printing and stitching. Every page sends my mind spinning in all directions and wanting to play with all the things. All of them. . These books came to mind for day 4 of the #21daysinmyartworld challenge a few days ago when the prompt was for Art Books, but equally it fit’s the prompts I’ve missed since then - day 7 Colour Palette & day 8 Inspiration 😉 . #weekendcatchup #3daysatonce #colourinspiration #allthecolors #ruthissett #ithinkshesmyspiritanimal

#21daysinmyartworld day 5 :: my favourite tool. I bought this brush the day after I finished art school as a reward for all the hard work i poured in. It was more expensive than I’d usually spend on just one brush, and it’s a little worse for wear all these years on. But I still love it, and the magical patterns it makes. . My other favourite tool I’ve had even longer, a spray bottle for swishing water and making watercolor dance about on the paper like this. #watercolordoodles #favoritebrush #prussianblue
