Nature and Floral Art Studies

My approach to nature studies is less about strict botanical illustration and more about capturing the feeling of a moment. Whether it is a specific flower I found during a walk or the patterns on an insect's wing, I am looking for the texture and the light that makes it real.

My Process

I often choose toned tan or brown paper as my canvas. This choice is intentional. It allows me to use white pencils to build highlights and darker tones to create depth, giving the drawings a three-dimensional quality that feels grounded. For the Champaka series, I relied on live references to get the vibrant yellow hues and the delicate curves of the petals correct.

The 'Hands with Nature' Series

One of my favorite ways to explore the natural world is through my 'Hands and Flowers' series. By placing a hand alongside the subject, I try to convey a sense of scale, interaction, and fragility. It is a way of saying that nature is something we hold and touch, not just observe from a distance.

Shipping and Care

I ship my artwork flat, protected between rigid honeycomb boards to prevent bending. I do not include frames for outstation orders to ensure the safety of the work during transit, but every piece comes with an acid-free window mount in off-white or black. This means you can easily find a standard-sized frame that matches your decor without needing professional help. If you have a specific plant or flower you would like me to study, reach out—I am always looking for new things to draw.
