About

This flat lay composition features a collection of black ink botanical illustrations created by illustrator Caroline Tomlinson. Multiple separate sheets of white paper display expressive line drawings of dandelions, seed heads, and foliage studies. The minimal monochrome palette highlights the fluid ink marks, pooling details, and delicate linework of the floral sketches. Arranged across a neutral surface, the overlapping papers create a layered collage effect showcasing natural botanical studies. The lighting is bright and even, emphasizing the stark contrast between the black ink and the white paper texture.
