The three featured flowers are aster, freesia and elderflower. It was inspired by and influenced by lovely old vintage book illustrations. Each flower had a special meaning to the client.</p><p>This was quite the technical challenge to do! At the time I was unsure about how to approach such an intricate design, and considered it would be best to draw and paint each flower separately, then later reassemble into a bouquet digitally. If I were to do this again, I would dive in and draw it all as one piece.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The client really wanted to put across the idea that the interconnected roots to other adjacent trees symbolise unity and collaboration through nature and community. Beautiful.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span face="proxima-nova" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;">Development: initial inspiration was drawn from a variety of contemporary logos that also represent tree-like shapes, as well as my own previous work of the pomegranate tree, created in 2013. I also looked at structural things such as church vaults, and artists such as Roger Dean, but it was easy to get carried away from the simplicity of the idea. </span></p><p><span face="proxima-nova" style="background-color: #fcfcfc;

For this particular wine, the designers wanted to pay homage to Chile's</span> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">native critically-endangered giant bumblebee, Bombus Dahlbomii, and hoped to show a traditional style illustration of the bee on the label. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was asked to supply two versions; in faded vintage-style colours and black and white.

Sadly its numbers are dwindling due to diseases from imported non-native bee species, so scientists are now working hard to save them.</span> </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm excited to share photos of the printed label on the new wine when it is released!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Below: initial pencil sketch, colour version, black and white version. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwpnCKIfVzn6WpcJ2cTmLpq41pkg5A1xlp6zm2gB6cxt8vY4hj8WKuWM0RS4saVtqvlVKVyxExxGVMCQV9f5U0aEZzQjrlCby6rAKlkzOCgMv3BMmnd7gztpLJgj3RZi60s1LIqh0X4JU/s723/bombus+sketch+for+label+small.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="723" height="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwpnCKIfVzn6WpcJ2cTmLpq41pkg5A1xlp6zm2gB6cxt8vY4hj8WKuWM0RS4saVtqvlVKVyxExxGVMCQV9f5U0aEZzQjrlCby6rAKlkzOCgMv3BMmnd7gztpLJgj3RZi60s1LIqh0X4JU/w640-h594/bombus+sketch+for+label+small.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCaBy5AHi5sESrLRodWpp_ID2dHLrra7Tqv42aribkdRjsucdx_9ZZ_UxTlxA4-pYivlPNltH7tUUQ4Ol02B35n-vyPqFoEY1eDZ9skqs6b9jG1Vgu490nHzFwHa9_0zYgWudHd3KERjc/s798/Capture+vintage+bombus.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="798" height="633" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCaBy5AHi5sESrLRodWpp_ID2dHLrra7Tqv42aribkdRjsucdx_9ZZ_UxTlxA4-pYivlPNltH7tUUQ4Ol02B35n-vyPqFoEY1eDZ9skqs6b9jG1Vgu490nHzFwHa9_0zYgWudHd3KERjc/w640-h633/Capture+vintage+bombus.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoiE73aNfn1MNsEZCu1FhNeoa7FXUARCnoEROPsQ7cgFo3jEVuECHOnzQC01KtOexbNZ8J43JzRAo9arRqmTeQonbfHv-Yx5aI5Zq7yayxp0wuc6uloJs7P_bws8s2HsJP2eEjo1gOR0/s765/Capture+b%2526w+bombus.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="744" data-original-width="765" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoiE73aNfn1MNsEZCu1FhNeoa7FXUARCnoEROPsQ7cgFo3jEVuECHOnzQC01KtOexbNZ8J43JzRAo9arRqmTeQonbfHv-Yx5aI5Zq7yayxp0wuc6uloJs7P_bws8s2HsJP2eEjo1gOR0/w640-h622/Capture+b%2526w+bombus.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; text-align: center;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Artwork <span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #3c4043; text-align: left;">©</span> Amy Holliday 2021</span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, utopia, "palatino linotype", palatino, serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amyholliday.co.uk/" style="color: #888888; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">www.amyholliday.co.uk</a></div><p></p>Amy Hollidayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12051439981621270191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959007491115006285.post-61610861639942383492020-10-23T15:21:00.016+01:002021-10-21T19:07:19.361+01:00"Bees" book sightings in stores around the Globe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Its been SO exciting to see my illustrations in bookstores around the World!

I'm thrilled with how they turned out! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzpooi0yme-eqyyFNM-ymaabmPqInEjEs2wO3JgpwcxloUTbtKG-DJL9udAfl_RoV-QQV8LCjALOa-utC0vTy3TuyOeeg3rvy2MY8Xuy12wHgKFCv-ugxkGZFHCslnEx9g23G_N7ra7A/s2048/20200915_143316-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1493" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzpooi0yme-eqyyFNM-ymaabmPqInEjEs2wO3JgpwcxloUTbtKG-DJL9udAfl_RoV-QQV8LCjALOa-utC0vTy3TuyOeeg3rvy2MY8Xuy12wHgKFCv-ugxkGZFHCslnEx9g23G_N7ra7A/w466-h640/20200915_143316-01.jpeg" width="466" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil7q29BYM7ZwmLu8HuxAHKJCYYvlmn5Fp1N6BtcdlRjkSWy7mTeJHbRlqkkKFYPWRTeMdfrTi09i5Ew_vccSbZczjrgXhcs815E-vqTyTZuMVJsStcwduO991Fy3axvdBAW-t1DoQ0J84/s2048/20200903_174816-02-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1709" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil7q29BYM7ZwmLu8HuxAHKJCYYvlmn5Fp1N6BtcdlRjkSWy7mTeJHbRlqkkKFYPWRTeMdfrTi09i5Ew_vccSbZczjrgXhcs815E-vqTyTZuMVJsStcwduO991Fy3axvdBAW-t1DoQ0J84/w534-h640/20200903_174816-02-01.jpeg" width="534" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">These charms are now available to buy as keyrings/purse charms in my online shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/amyholliday/" target="_blank">amyholliday.etsy.com</a></p><p><br /></p>Amy Hollidayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12051439981621270191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959007491115006285.post-89016439957780947872020-07-03T16:49:00.000+01:002020-07-03T16:49:34.860+01:00Cheetah // Watercolour and Black Indian Ink I recently found this in a sketchbook from back when I set myself a personal project of drawing 100 animals in 100 days, and 4 years later, I have finally scanned it in.
