About Me
- Jessica Rosemary Shepherd
- Inky Leaves is a place for those with a curious mind. It is a space of exploration, discovery and documentation. It's predominantly a blog about botanical art, especially my own work which I create in my spare time. However, you’ll soon find that Inky Leaves is about everything, from museum collections and exhibitions to new books. I try to strike a balance between the creative and the analytical, the arts and the sciences, the old and the new to present something beautiful and interesting.

Love your sketchbook pages Jess - such familiar plants and flowers .. love frangipani (plumeria) such a stunning plant and incredible fragrance. Great that you have this record of them - better than a photo!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful, Jessie! I am impressed that you found time to do so many studies while beeing there!
ReplyDeleteLovely sketchbook work. The colours are so vibrant and fresh and your attention to detail is just gorgeous. A very personal memory of your visit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and sketchs too Jessica!!!
ReplyDeleteI think You had an unforgettable stay there!!!
a very lucky girl !
Thanks Vicki, Alena, Sketchbook Squirrel and Renata. I had such a lovely time. I was lucky enough in that Henry and I decided to stop at Sidemen for 4 days and that gave me the time to paint. Such an inspiring place to be in. Beautiful countryside in that part of Bali. I felt very invigorated and the drawing didn't seem like work to me. I didn't want to leave!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, they are appreciated :)
