Talking pattern ——Gaoyang Cai

This pattern comes from the sunset I saw on my school rooftop. The sky was blue with orange and purple tones. I liked how the colors changed slowly, one melting into another. I tried to keep that calm feeling in my painting and turned the light into a soft, patterned image.

I made this after seeing a cat lying on the grass during a trip. The scene felt quiet and lazy, with warm light and soft air. I wanted to keep that relaxed mood in the colors. The pattern feels gentle, like a slow afternoon breath.

This work comes from tomato slices, lemon slices, and the cutting board under them. I really liked how the colors stood out. The bright red, yellow, and green made a strong contrast. The mix looked sharp and full of life, so I painted it. The colors alone tell a story.

This idea came from a chair with a simple fabric design. The real one was brown, but I added pink and green. I also used yarn to make it look more textured, like real threads. It became a mix of soft colors and a gentle surface.

This work was inspired by some geese I saw outdoors. Their feathers had many layers, so I used paper cutting and collage to show that feeling. The colors were strong and contrasting. I liked how the layers made the pattern look alive.

This pattern also came from a chair surface. I added more shapes and colors to make it richer. The mix of yellow, red, and green gave it a new rhythm. I liked finding small beauty in simple daily things.

This drawing shows the texture of salmon meat. I used colored pencil, crayon, and marker to show the soft layers inside. The pink and orange tones blend like gentle waves. I focused on the rhythm of the lines instead of making it realistic.

This pattern came from some simple tiles I saw. The design was plain, but I liked the colors a lot. I used soft pastels to fill the shapes quickly. It was a fast drawing, but I liked how it turned out. The colors stayed bright, and the work felt fresh.

For this one, I first used gouache paint and let it dry. Then I added details with colored pencils to make the texture more fine. Each pomegranate peel was different, not perfect, and that made it fun. I picked one I liked and painted it again. I enjoyed drawing it because it showed me how small flaws can look beautiful.

This picture shows the cross-section of a pomegranate. I turned it into a creative pattern. I learned that even a simple shape can look different when arranged in new ways. Changing the order or direction makes new looks appear.
