Progress in art

My kaupapa is about nature as you can see from my artworks it's all about nature you can see turtles, flowers, and leaves. I use the Japanese wave patterns, Japanese wave patterns or they called it seigaiha is a pattern of layered concentric circles creating arches, symbolic of waves or water, and representing surges of good luck. It can also signify power and resilience.

On the first 3 artworks, it's a simple introduction about my kaupapa I put a flower, turtle, and a leaf and I draw it with a pencil the background of it is made of different seigaha or Japanese waves or patterns with watercolor.

The next artwork is a big wave with a wave pattern on the background that is also made of charcoal or pencil. I did a little mistake on it because I'm not supposed to put a black pen line on it but I put it to show or highlight the wave.

The last artwork is made of lino cutting. I divide the artwork into 3 layers and put a border on every layer. Probably I will change this one to a laser painting and make something on it so it will look too simple.

The next step I will try is laser printing. I will try different artworks on it. The watercolor is working well on it but I think I need to add more color or a color scheme because I was too focused on the blue color and it looks too boring so probably I will put more color.
