Lush Series
The Lush series is comprised of a collection of soft pastel chalk drawings of nature scenes.
The aim of this series was to express the lush life and feelings of nature. Its forests, flowers, lakes and valleys, into a colourful vibrant and vivid art style. A limited colour pallet was chosen to help merge the scene together, whilst still distinctive enough in colour. Resulting, in showing the various characteristics and detail of the scenes. Direction and mixing of the markings of chalk, are important, as this helps to show the flow of detail, within the drawings. The trees, its branches, flowers and their leaves, and how nature has arranged the placement of these components.
Overall, these approaches and methods utilized, come together to produce art works that express natures vivid, colourful and eye-catching vision, that brings the viewer into the picture.
