In my last tutorial, we discussed the more practical sides of my project – thinking about the funding, processes and materials that I need to complete the project, as well as the issues that I have had with my current […]
One major piece of feedback that I have had from my tutorials, has all been to get everything that’s in my head about my project (all of my tasks, people to talk to etc) onto paper, so I have finally […]
This image is the current progress that I have made on my drawing of the Catacol Whitebeam drawing. There are, of course, a few teething problems with getting back into using the pen and ink method again, such as the […]
Review: 26/11/21: There is much from this crit which I have now (often indirectly) addressed – and there is also more which I am yet to address. Display is a big one still – I really want to experiment with […]
Today I put my watercolour on the wall for the first time, along with its botanical label. As you can see, I have placed it on the wall next to my pen and ink drawing of Cleyera orbicularis, in order […]
The tutorial with Anne-Marie was really helpful. As she didn’t know my work or practice at all, she was able to give an objective and outside opinion and view of my work, which I haven’t gained so far, as I […]
Review: 02/11/21: I have done some digging, so that I am able to create a botanical label for this plant, and its name is Echinopsis candicans. It is native to Argentina and is of least concern to conservationists, with a stable population. The above image […]
As I discussed previously, I have come to the conclusion that my project needs an outward identity – one that I can refer to it by to others, and not having to keep adding “degree project” onto the end of. […]
I haven’t finished my watercolour yet, but I wanted to do an update post about how far I have got with it. I have progressed a lot since I last posted a photo of it, and have come to the […]
Review: 27/10/21: I am still incredibly proud of this drawing – I think particularly because I have accepted the ink blot as part of the work. Although it removes some of the accuracy from the drawing, it doesn’t detract from the image itself, […]
A crucial part of my degree project is botanical illustration, as the means of disseminating the visuals of the plants that I am researching. I am therefore in the process of learning traditional Botanical Illustration, and have chosen to start […]
Review: 28/10/21: I have now thought of a new name for my project: the Endangered Plants Index. It’s functional and explains what the project is, without it being too out-there or pretentious. I will now start work on creating a ‘look’ (including […]
For my final degree project, I have embarked on a very lengthy and involved process of creating an engaging and interesting resource about the most endangered plants in the world. As a climate activist, I talk about the human cost […]

The lorry, a prominent factor within my grandad’s life. His businesses revolved around driving lorries, becoming his main form of income. His life revolved around living in lorries for days at a time, travelling all over the uk delivering. This […]
