Looking at the shapes I saw within the decorative walls of the temples in Thailand, I decided to use these shapes further in my drawings. I used a lot of diamond shapes within these two drawings because I like the contrast between the disparate lines of the diamond shapes with the rough organic marks of the gouache.
I have also introduced colour into these and have used a mixture of the current pinky and blue I use to create a purple shade, and also a rich yellow to represent the gold of the temple walls. What I didn't realise at the time about this colour combination is that whilst in Thailand, I would see bunting and flags of these colours.
I also introduced stitch into this drawing which I think this was a successful idea and may explore the idea using stitch within my samples.
