In the video it gives you an example of repeated patterns and shapes. I enjoy turning my shapes and patterns into a scene.
What Can you try
Keep it simple, a shape or a motif. Choose something and repeat it across your page. Try changing the size, color, or direction. Layer them or keep them structured in neat rows. The key is to play without judgement. Repetition can be very meditative and I love creating patterns in my own creative practice. It is calming and will build your confidence.
You might discover something beautiful in the way slightly imperfect marks can repeat themselves. Or that one pattern leads to another - circles can become flowers, lines become leaves, the possibilities are endless.
You can also create patterns with stamps, stencils, or stitching, this is a great way to use these tools. Think back to some of the previous posts and additional tools you can use to create patterns. Turn anything into a stamp and let it lead your design.
Enjoy the simplicity and the freedom patterns offer. You can also photocopy your patterns and reuse them in your art journals or creative projects.
Takeaway Nuggets:
Patterns invite rhythm and play into your work.
Repetition is a creative meditation.
