Outside the frame | Samantha Foster

A framed watercolour of an orange and red octopus, tentacles cast out in all directions. Where the arms reach the edge of the border mount, they continue as ink line drawings, sometimes looping back round into the frame and returning to colour.
There's something so utterly weightless about this image which I love 😍

I first saw Samantha's work in a small café near Topsham, Devon. I love the way motion is captured by breaking the animals out of their frames. Plus, the combination of watercolour and line drawing is precisely my style, just executed well beyond what I could manage. I'd love to pick something up by them at some point, or even give a similar idea a go myself 😊

(If you love it too, Samantha's work can be purchased on Etsy)
