This project was inspired by vintage botanical illustrations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. Less of a study and more of an appreciation, they highlight the bloom and foliage of each flower. 

Prismacolor Premier colored pencils

Strathmore 400 series colored pencil paper

Canon Pixma scanner

Adobe Photoshop

Prints made on Canson cold press 300gsm watercolor paper

The final artwork was also made into luxury stationery sets. Each one was printed on 300gsm off white Italian cardstock with matching baronial envelopes and presented in a sturdy slate grey box. All cards are blank inside.

Calendars featuring 12 of the floral illustrations were printed for the 2023 season. Each image was the focal point of the month, with dates running along the right side.
