DARK ROMANCE
Dark Romance weaves a magical world of bewitchment and illusion, with strength in fragility, richness in embellishment, mystery in transparency and beauty in everything.
A darkness falls, casting mysterious shadows that beguile and seduce. Part paranormal, part romance, this trend casts a subversive spell that bewitches all who see it.
Depths shimmer, so while it’s all darks and blacks from a distance, take a closer look and you’ll see iridescent depths of violets, petrol-y blues and mauves, in choppy undone layers with attitude.
OVER ON THE DARK SIDE
With magical layers of embellishment, weaving enchanted worlds of dark transparency, dusky brocades, inky blooms, deconstructed forms and a spirit of rebellion into the dusk.

#FREEHANDBLENDING
Lesely Jennison works her magic to achieve hidden depths of colour. Using a 'petalling' technique and working totally freehand throughout she carefully dabs and blends to create a soft, almost painterly effect.
