Thanks @frankiemagazine! 🎉✨🌿 Hakea laurina was in full flowering swing when I was working on this cover - I couldn't not draw it! So here it is, from my parents garden in Hobart, to you x

Studio BTS #7 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻 Once I replaced my rendered plant illustrations on the painted ground and played with composition a little, I went through a series of colour tests on silk crepe de chine, I had to do 4 separate tests with tweaks each time, a longer than usual process as there were so many colours. Very grateful to work with a local printer to be able to discuss colour changes in person! Lovely photo by @nick_mckk ✨
Studio BTS #6 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻 A wall of drawings from the collection and a desk of in progress prints ✨
Scanning! BTS #5 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻 Once all painted I peeled off my paper cut outs and scanned in the painted base layer- the piece is quite big so it had many photoshop stitches✨
Composition! BTS #3 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻 Once I had drawn and coloured all the plants I printed and cut them all out so I could arrange them by hand on the painted ground. I find this more instinctual and natural than using the computer- at least that was the thought before I started cutting out a tiny hakea hehe..More work..but more fun?! #cutandpastey
Colour testing! BTS #2 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻
Colour mixing! BTS #1 of making the 'Olive Pink' print for #fieldtripbyedithrewa 💅🏻 Smooshing my favourite colours around, the best 🖌
