#naturalforms – fluid sculpture
Natural forms, this project covers a wide area with the common theme of flowing lines. These can be found in the delicate contours of a body, the arch of a tree bough and in a stone sculpted on the seashore. Natural forms are created by growth, decay, erosion, and all the forces of wind rain and sun.
However, these shapes are formed by nature and not by the hand of man and so they have our admiration for their satisfying subtlety, beauty and fluidity.

Using the digital palette, I can try out various colourway on screen, while this could be done with the physical paint, this method gives me the freedom to try many more combinations.

The background colours are now decided, and I can arrange the canvas boards into groups by size ready to start painting.
