The rich indigo-blue of the frosted berries, contrasted with the bright green, waxy leaves and pale coffee-colored branches, immediately caught my eye, and I knew they would make a beautiful subject for a design.

The combination of the two plants\u2014the vibrant, frosted sloe berries and the softer, patterned lungwort\u2014seemed to complement each other perfectly. Together, they created a balanced and visually engaging composition, which I first captured in a detailed pencil drawing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the drawing, I painted the plants in watercolor, focusing on the color contrasts and textures that made each species unique. Once the painting was finished, I scanned it into Photoshop to experiment with digital manipulation and different layouts and patterns. By cutting out the design and playing with various painted backgrounds and color schemes, I was able to create an interesting and modern design that still retained the overall period feel. This blend of hand-drawn, traditional painting and digital editing allowed me to show the plants at their best and create a design that felt both contemporary, whilst still drawing upon the visual style of the Arts and Crafts movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/test.pleiades.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.39_8379b7c6.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/test.pleiades.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-00.14.53_76f1591c.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/test.pleiades.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/coleenglover.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-29-at-01.05.49_b7333cab.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the years, I\u2019ve built an extensive reference library composed of primary photographs I\u2019ve taken and secondary images and research material I\u2019ve collected.
