Going through the museum looking for tiles of pattern was quite interesting, I have already drawn some of these and plan to finish the rest off and post them as well. I went through natural history again as I find it to be the most inspirational place to me in terms of ideas, textures and colours. The range of patterns here go from smooth, through to rough and unusual, so I was keen to get a variety of different things that I found to be interesting. Initially I just want to do them as line drawings, but maybe a few in a brightly coloured watercolour painting would be interesting too to show off the colours more. I particularly like the underwater life such as the corals as they all have very different textures and colours, I also like the precious stones as again they all have different textures and qualities which I think makes a point of interest to look at. I think going forward I want to finish off some drawings to post up too, and also explore what I find to be particularly inspiring from the twenty six images taken and shown here.
