I really enjoy the level of detail and intricacy in Danielle’s line art. Her ink lines are dark, heavy and deliberate, and the patterns seen within each shape offer a sense of texture and movement that draws the eye over the entirety of an image. The use of negative space in these images is great, and the patches of white paper help to build up volume, whether it’s in the twist of a tress branch or the shading on an abstract form.
Danielle has also created an adult coloring book, called Fabulous Flowers and Trees. The book is filled with beautiful black and white illustrations of the aforementioned foliage. Coloring in these clean, detailed line art images is a great way to interact with the artist’s work on a deeper level.
