Independently, I decided to take a trip to Roath Park in Cardiff to do some more drawing similar to the national botanical gardens of wales. These were a bit less man made than the gardens as nature grows where it wants to which had a much more organic fresh feel which was sort of more inspiring that the gardens. Below is just a couple of trees that varied throughout the park. This was just to get the jist with shape and form which could be used as inspiration later.
Although I said early Roath Park seemed more organic, it has a man made lake which inhabits loads of bird life. This were also helpful to sketch as they didn’t move too much. I have always loved birds so I knew that I would be able to use them in my work.
Water has always been a challenge for me to draw but being in the same environment for a period of time gave me a little time to practice. As is was a clam day the water had some brisk movements which gave me a variety to experiment with. I had some cool outcomes that I was actually pleased with considering I wasn’t able to do it before.
In result in this experiment, it has given me more drawings to create further designs for my final body of work including actual textile pieces to link it to my practice.
