Husnah Anwar Surface Design

I've researched a few trends from the pattern bank website. I found these trends interesting and wanted to explore these further. I find the bright colours very eye catching and the style of flowers. This Botanical S/S 15 trend is also something I want to tap in to. I love the botanical flower drawings and would really like to explore this style.

I've looked at Gillian Griffiths work. I find the painting style very inspirational. Theres alot of detaile in the paintings which creates this intersting effects and makes the flowers look 3d. I would like to try the similler style in my paintings too and see if it works. Gillian Griffiths used watercolour paints to paint botanical flowers.

From the past few week I've been very busy researching to gain more inspiration, experimenting with different medias and drawing/painting. I've visited different museums, galleries and florists to gain  primary research. I've also done some market research to get an inside of the fashion/accessories market for my chosen product areas. I am still drawing and painting from my research so I get some good quality drawings and paintings which can then go in to design.
