The painting of the flowers was done with markers and the background colours were filled using Photoshop software. The inspiration came from a pot of rhododendrons that I have at home, but I exaggerated in my drawing and did not copy the plant itself. The positive red petals and dark green rhizomes are a vibrant contrast in colour.

A drawing of the object using markers with a large fill in the background using Photoshop. The inspiration came from a box of playdough my dad bought me when I was a kid, but the objects themselves were dramatically exaggerated. I think Play-Doh was a great best friend when I was a child and they brought me so much joy that I added eyes to the drawing. The irregular shapes express the malleability of Play-Doh shapes

The vegetables were drawn with oil pastels and the vegetables were then topped with marker pen scribbles to record the mood of the photo shoot. The inspiration came from a plate of rice that was not to my liking in Romania three years ago.

The flowers were painted using gouache paints and the background was chosen in a colour that could be contrasting green. The inspiration came from a bouquet of sunflowers with special meaning that I received in London in my first year.

Drawing with markers. Inspired by a box of cheese crackers. I thought the box of biscuits was unusual in that there was no prescribed consistent shape.

Persimmons painted with markers. Inspired by my favourite fruit. And in our country, many people consider persimmons to be a symbol of good luck and good fortune.

A coloured pepper painted with oil pastels and markers for the doodling design. A contrasting blue colour was chosen for the background. Inspired by a very favourite kitten I fed who loved coloured peppers.
