For this I drew the illustration of the cathedral on white paper with a black fine-liner and then cut around it leaving a border. I chosen this background I made with a bit of collaged newspaper and watercolour shapes in pastel colours that look very abstract, and I played around with positioning before permanently placingContinue reading “Another Sample – More abstract and Illustrative”
