New Forest Inspired Coloured Papercut

Last week I finished another woodland themed coloured paper cut, inspired by our walks in the New Forest and incorporating the abundant wood sorrel that covers the forest floor, the brightly coloured buttercups and dandelions and emerging foxgloves. The pencils I use are Staedtler Ergo Soft and the knife is a Swann Morton No. 3 with 10a blades for all those who have contacted me recently asking. I use 120gsm paper that has a slight shimmer to it too. Template available soon.

I've finally finished this one! Its a set of three and they are A3 in size mounted in a 50" x 40" white frame with mount.

Made a start on putting the first design together and did a sample cut to see how it was working. Here is a sneak preview of it:

Songbird - My biggest commission so far!

I was asked to create a design that would work as a set, enabling the client to move the pictures easily with them if they more. This is my first set of 3 A3 designs, and to start off I sketched the ideas out before creating them to cut out. Here is where I am at.

 

Looking forward to finishing these and I think they will look amazing when finished!
