This is a collection of quick sketches I drew digitally to help me practice what I wanted to include in my painting. I also described some of the symbols I wanted to include so I could use this as a reference guide to come back to. Overall it was helpful in learning to draw these flora and fauna instead of jumping straight into a painting.

These vines reminded me of the type of framing i wanted to include in my painting. It helped me understand how vines and branches naturally curve and bend. i used this as a reference photo when sketching my piece.

Interesting leaves I saw on a walk, I thought this could be nice to include in artwork as they look quite threading and defensive which fits with my theme.

I started thinking about birds and their symbolism. I considered swans for a while as they are usually symbols of power, grace and innocence. They could be usualful to look further into in further projects but i felt they didnt really fit this theme that well.

I took a variety of pictures of animals I found when brainstorming what creatures I’d want to paint in my final piece. I’m often drawn to butterflies and moths as they have contrasting conotations, with butterlies being linked to freedom, change and hope, moths are often seen as images of death and gulibility.
