WILD BUSH : PART 9 . I started #INKTOBER this year with an idea to illustrate plants I had photographed while travelling around NSW and Tasmania. Every time I am outdoors, be it on a short or long walk, a drive or a camping trip I always have my phone or camera handy to document the plants I see on these trips. By now I have gathered thousands of photos in my plant library. I have come across so many beautiful and unique plants that I had never seen before. I picked out some of my favourites from the library to illustrate for #INKTOBER2018. . From the start it was always my intention to put all the 31 illustrations into a print. The only thing I wasn’t sure of was if I would be able to reach the end of 31 days. I decided to keep it simple by reducing the colours to 3, keeping the size of the artwork small and manageable and only adding details to illustrations that required it. The result has led me to create this large scale mixed media artwork which I’m calling the Wild Bush. It took me a while to figure out the background colour, I had quite a few options and could only pick one. :) As I wanted the print to be an extension of my personality in some way I wanted to stay true to what felt most right for it and black felt like just the right colour. . Being a textile print designer I work with so many colours on a regular basis that it becomes really hard to figure out what my personal preferences are. As I developed this print in hopes of releasing a small range of products with it soon, I wanted it to have its own identity but still have a part of me embedded within. In this way maybe you get to know me a little bit. #theblckpen

Night Garden

March 27, 2016nehagupteartwork, brush, floral, illustration, ink, theblckpen, watercolors Leave a comment

Last year just before Christmas a friend of mine from work commissioned me to work on an artwork for her newly renovated home. I cannot write in words how elated I was! It was something I always wanted to do and now I had been given a chance to do it.

And so I started working on this project last year. Slowly but surely the artwork started taking shape. I do not think I ever felt as happy as I did while painting it. It was pure love for each colour , for each stroke of the brush, for every detail in the florals and for each stroke of ink added to it to bring out the darkness within.

I would like to call it the night garden.

The Blck Pen x Red Velvet

September 13, 2015nehaguptefloral, illustration, print, red velvet, textile 2 Comments

Hello!! Been a very long time since I posted anything on my blog. Full time job to be blamed here 😛

Last year I got a message in my inbox from Komal the creative mind behind Red Velvet to work on a floral print for their next collection. I was way to eager to jump onto this opportunity as I love anything floral.

After much back and forth over emails due to the distance, her being in Mumbai and me in Sydney, we finished what we started. It was an amazing experience and I loved every bit of it.

The collection that we started working on is finally out for you to have a look at here.

Enjoy some of my process images below and see how the print was developed.

Hope you enjoy

Spirit of The Eagle

July 19, 2015nehaguptefashion, fashion illustration, houtecouture, ink, theblckpen, valentino, watercolour 2 Comments

When I saw the Valentino Haute Couture collection I knew I had to draw it.

Every piece was stunningly beautiful and flawless.

I fell in love with this black piece and decided to draw the eagle wings to add some drama to it.

In my mind I feel like this how the spirit of an eagle would look.

Hope you like it !
