Fun with a Fragment (Pattern)

I really do enjoy working with Fragments (Patterns)

and creating a piece of art by putting them into a Reticula (Grid).

This piece is just simply manipulating a pattern.

 I decided to use C-5 from this Fragment Chart of mine (one of many).

Fragment Chart Stencil can be found by clicking here.

  .

Started with a 2" square ~ watercolor paper and sectioned

it off as you can see above.

.

 

I chose to place the dots as shown above.

.

Then I drew the pattern around the dots using the

C-5 Fragment as my reference.

My square tile is right up above the red circle.

 

.

I could have stopped and just shaded, but the tile

was just screaming at me to add lines! So I did.

 

.

Then using my pencil and a tortillon I shaded so

it looks like the pattern lines are going over and under each other.

I am a light shader.  When shading, start out lightly ~ you can always add to it.

I'm pleased with the way this turned out. I'll be making more using my Fragments Chart.

Thanks for joining me today ~ have fun experimenting!
