Paint Party Friday - Patterns

It's time for Paint Party Friday! This week, I drew some patterns from a magazine that caught my attention. The first one is a chevron pattern and the second is a wallpaper pattern called chou chou from Sister Parish Design.

Please stop by the other participants to see what they did today. There is so much talent out there, a visual feast!

What an interesting way to share with us the patterns that moved you via illustration. I like the boldness of the first one very much. Happy PPF!

Heather said...

I like how you added the corner curled up. These would be fun framed in a room....the patterns are so interesting... chevron is one of my favorites!
enjoy your Friday, my friend! xo

Interesting patterns, very nice. They would both be great framed. Nicely done. Happy PPF!

Great patterns, thank you for showing. Annette

Tammie Lee said...

wonderful patterns.
I have been sketching patterns lately so that when I get stuck for details or back ground I can look and get ideas, it has been great.

Both great patterns, and it is wonderful how you found your inspiration! Valerie

I like these patterns very much and especialky how you curled the corner up giving the pattern a 3d effect as if they are table cloths or hankies!

Anne Butera said...

These look like they were so much fun to draw! They turned out beautifully!

Marlene said...

Great patterns and you did a really well with them. They are very interesting but I don't know if I would like a room wallpapered with such a bold pattern or not.

Great patterns! I love the second one - it would make a fabulous print.

The way you curled up the corners added so much character... Fantastic!

P.S. For some reason my comment posted twice so I deleted one of them.
