Realistic
Non-Realistic
Make the plants and inspired shaped according to the size of the actual plant/inspiration source
Change and play around with the sizes of flowers and other natural things. make small things big and vice versa.
Change the size of one part of the plant and keep the other realistic. Will create diversity in size but keep connected to the original source of inspiration.
will connect to Katerina Apale's art
Connects to Henri Rousseau's art works
Size and Color
Nature contains so many different textures. flower petals can be soft and delicate but they can also be tough and thick. trees can have dry, rough bark while others don't have bark at all. Using the textures given by nature.
if you pay close attention, rhythm is always connected to nature. it can be how a plant is connected to another plant and that cycle goes on and on. or even how a leaf is structured. the tiny pathways that are constantly
mostly everything is clustered and together, the spacing in nature is very small. but it's there.
an example it the trees, they grow close together but they never grow completely on top of each other. flowers and plants, they share a space together
shapes in nature vary, they are never the same. two leaves can come from the same plant, from the same stem but they will never be the same.
There are so many different shapes in nature and they are all ways that nature itself has adapted to be able to survive. Katerina Apale plays around with lots of different shapes in her artwork, and so does Henri Rousseau. Both of them display how much nature has inspired them, by how detailed and similar their plants and plant-inspired shapes are to real-life nature.
How the artists change the size from nature to their own artworks.
How colours change according to what the artist wants to express and how natural colours impact the view and interpretation of the artists and viewers.
sometimes the artists want to make some shapes and objects bigger to add more emphasis and meaning to it. they can make a leaf bigger, the size of a table and make a tree small, like a little mouse. they can play around with the sizes and proportions.
color in an artwork means has a great impact in what the viewer and painter wants to feel and convey. taking the natural colours such as green and using it to paint a more realistic image can make the viewer connect to in a a more realistic level. But for example, making a panda orange, will bring attention and curiosity from the viewers because they will want to know what the panda is orange.
