Harpsden Court is an estate in the UK, that is hundreds of years old. The brief was to hand-illustrate an emblem that would tie in symbols that represent the spirit of the estate.

Specific flowers, a bushel of asparagus, two winged creatures that are carved into an ancient door at Harpsden, a peacock, all make their appearance on the detailed wreath.

A simplified version of the wreath appears as a monogram for smaller print requirements.

See some of the process undertaken to get to the final wreath illustration. Starting with pencil, we move into illustrating the wreath in Adobe Fresco, finally finishing the emblem in Illustrator.
