As well as creating new work, I found myself reworking old patterns too. I made a true half drop repeat with this Suzani pattern. I've only ever done 'faux' drop repeats so it was great to finally master this. Next I'd like to put some stems and leaves on this pattern so I took a little time to teach myself how to create a pattern brush. I experimented with it and made the pink pattern below...
I played around with my geo shapes a bit more... It's a work in progress and I'm finding the endless possibilities quite overwhelming! I may have to set some further rules for limiting shapes and colours.
There are just so many ways to go with it!
My white gel pens arrived and I LOVE them. I tend to be a bit heavy handed with colour and often lose all the white when working on paper. It’s great to be able to work over watercolour and gouache with these to add detail.
