Kelvingrove Art Gallery




Whilst in Glasgow, I seeked further inspiration from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. I was looking at an alternative colour pallet, something vibrant with an impact. I initially felt, although my thailand photographs were perfect for inspiring my drawing in terms of pattern, they may not give me enough from a colour pallet. These butterflies had lively colour tones which I have gone on to experiment with.



Following on from looking at butterflies, I began to look at birds as they were a feature in cushion by The Hmong Tribe; a thailand based textile company who work with embroidery. I didn’t want to restrict myself but in doing so I feel I am trying to cover too many directions.






Having experimented slightly with drawings and painting studies, I have decided to move quickly back to architectural pattern in terms of imagery. I am aware that I will have a stronger project if the concept underpinning my ideas and decision making is clear and focused. However I do like the colour pallet I have extracted from the particular study above and may continue experimenting with this.
