Talking Pattern

1. This is the pattern of blue chrysanthemums I observed in the horniman garden. I drew this picture with an oil painting stick, and I also replaced the background between each chrysanthemum with color blocks.

2.This is the fig I observed in the borough market. I also bought some to cut and observe his patterns at home. I used watercolor and oil painting sticks.

3.This is the mushroom I observed in the borough market. I extracted its shape and structure for topography, and I also extracted the pattern at the bottom of it.

8. This is the pattern test of different positions on the scanned page of the last flower on the digital app.

9. This is what I observed when it was dark that the building outside the window was blue by the color of the sky. I used the geometric part of the building as a pattern. I used watercolor and colored pencils.

10.This is the scene I encountered when I was traveling. The bricks on the building attracted me very much. I drew it with watercolors and colored pencils.

11.This is the onion I observed in the borough market, and I drew it with watercolor.

Reflection：

In the task of talking pattern, I learned many plants, and I also observed part of the street scene. My favorite part is to observe the cut surface of fruits to find out their patterns and textures. In some paintings, I used to zoom in/zoom out, such as mushrooms. The painting of the mushroom, I enlarged the texture extraction pattern at the bottom of it. I mostly use oil painting sticks, because I enjoy the process of using oil painting sticks. I also use some digital skills, such as repeating patterns and mirroring some of the patterns through software. I think my success in this project is the painting of the cut surface of the fruit. My favorite one is the painting of the cut surface of the fig, because in the process of observation, I found that the cut texture of the fig is the most complex. I like the way I use when I draw. The improvement should be that I can create with more different media, such as collage.

This creation made me realize that there are many things with rich patterns in our lives, especially fruits, whose structure is complex and diverse. I think these structures can inspire me to try to find more patterns to use in textiles.

For the process of talking color, what I enjoy most is the part of observing the fruit. The part I will improve is the use of the medium. The part of talking color architecture and the part of talking pattern are It ‘s related. I used more details in the part of talking color, but I used color blocks to express the architectural part of talking pattern.
