by chelI’m taking a drawing class right now and in an effort to try and find something new to draw so I could practice the basics of drawing curves and shading objects, I searched the web for images of white vases and pottery. I was hoping for some basic stock images of geometric shapes like the one found in my drawing textbook.
Instead, I found these amazing, beautiful images (and objects) from Sara Paloma Pottery.
Something about their clean, yet organic form really calls to me. When I look at them, I think of the sea. I think of bleached-white shells being slowly tumbled to smoothness in the sand and crystal blue salty water. I can just imagine how soft, smooth, and cool they might feel. Their gentle curves also remind me of some of Georgia O’Keeffes work.
I’m usually drawn to color, but this is such a great example of how color isn’t always necessary to make a statement. To evoke an emotion.
Perfectly clean and simple. So inspiring. I want to not only draw them, but have them in every room of my house.

I’ve found that I love white porcelain too…. I have lots of gorgeous ones in my etsy favourites
It’s a bit amazing how much impact a plain white thing can have!
