Here is the garland as it is looking. I am now putting it into an A3 layout and doing a cutter for it.

I'm trying to keep the boats large and the other elements quite large, the shell and starfish will be smaller but overall the elements will be roughly the same size (not like my other garlands).

So I have decided to share with you the Coastal Garland as it develops over the next few days!

Here are the basic shapes, I imagine them to be paper cuts because one day they will be paper cuts.

I decide what I will do with each illustration in terms of the colour shapes, the natural media detailing and the textures. In this case I am putting some shading onto each one.

Today I will do the rest of the "paper cut" work and then over the weekend I will take these into Photoshop and do all the natural media mark making and details.

I will need to lay these out on an A3 sheet and try and get their relative sizes right because when I do the natural media I can't really scale them up and down. So they need to be roughly the right size.

These aren't necessarily the right objects either...I may add some different ones. The only thing is I need to finish it by next week as the pressure is on for Bovey!

You may have noticed that the octopus and ice cream from my long sold out Catch of the Day print makes a slight return.
