Jane Davies here. I use pattern a LOT in my work, so this theme is really fun for me. So I thought I'd make a little video of my process. I don't have a set procedure, but tend to layer pattern intuitively.

| This is the finished piece from the video. It includes acrylic paint, watercolor crayon, and pit pens. |
Here are a few more pieces from recent work that use pattern as a primary subject:
 |
| Acrylic, ink, and graphite on paper, 10"x10" |
 |
| Encaustic on paper, 8"x8" |

| Encaustic and ink on paper, 8"x8" |

| Acrylic, oil stick, graphite, and ink on paper, 22"x30" |
I hope you'll experiment with patterns in many different materials, motifs, and scales in your sketchbook and outside of it! You can see more of my patter-y work in an
interview with Sara Naumann,

Enjoyed seeing the layers build. Gotta try this.
