I have been enjoying exploring curved folds recently and an idea came to me:

I designed 3 complimentary “wavy” line patterns using Affinity Designer. They were designed on A4 and A5 templates. I printed them out and used them as score templates for pieces of 180gsm watercolour paper.

Hand-scoring curves is fraught with non-smoothness moments, but the watercolour paper was forgiving enough that, when laying in the creases, I was able to round out the little lumpy bits.

This is a Triptych – the 3 panels relate to each other, and could be smaller sections of a larger rippling mill pond.

I love the wat light plays with the surfaces here, there is a tangible texture, on top of the medium tooth texture of the actual paper itself.
