JULIE BRETON ART | BOTANICAL DRAWING

The BOTANICAL DRAWINGS are part of the GLASSHOUSE series, inspired by Victorian glasshouses and the exotic plants once collected and displayed within them. Their architecture, history and atmosphere became a starting point for exploring botanical forms through loose linework, layered marks and subtle fields of colour.

Working on translucent Yupo paper allows drawing, paint and collage to overlap in unexpected ways. Charcoal, graphite, pastel, acrylic and ink move between the layers, while the transparency of the surface creates a sense of light and depth. Rather than depicting specific plants, the drawings suggest fragments of vegetation—part observation, part memory and imagination.
