Hello! Not long ago I promised to tell and show how I paint patterns. I hope that my recommendations will help someone else

First, you cover with the main colour the piece of the clothes you are going to patterns. You don't need to make the transition from light to dark very accurate , with further development of ornament everything will look neat.

hope to see more.

You paint the main large elements of ornament ( curls ) distributing them evenly on the cloth. Then , you start drawing smaller elements of ornament - flowers , leaves.

IS there more to come Zerina ?

Are you using a brush or pen at this stage

Ron

You apply the technique of glaze ( a thin transparent layer of paint ) if you want to add darker shades in the folds. I glazed in burnt umber.

Then you correct the pattern with spots, painting spots where the pattern is drawn with errors. Spots also add light and colour where we feel it is necessary. I painted spots in Neapolitan yellow, warm green, cool blue -green. Picturing spots can simulate carpet or velvet nap.

Thats amazing - thanks for sharing !

Hendryk

You paint a shade applying the technique of glazing. The pattern is ready . I used acrylic and tempera ( but not oil tempera ) .
Good luck in your painting!
