Pattern Coloring Pack #4

Today's post is all about Pattern Coloring Pack #4, which has six more unique coloring page designs.

Each six-pack is for sale on Etsy for $1.99. As soon as you buy them, you will be able to download the PDF (1 PDF with 6 pages), store them on your computer, and print as many copies as you want. I also have a mega pack available which has all 44 of my coloring page designs together in one set - the 42 designs found in each of the 7 mini-packs, as well as 2 bonus designs not found in any of the other packs.

Here are the six designs in "Pattern Coloring Pack #4" (available for purchase here).






The patterns used in this set are Renata, Chiarina, Vitale, Eustacia, Amalia, and Deliria. I grouped these six together because they have a similar radial kaleidoscope-type design (specifically, six-sided symmetry, like a snowflake has). As with all my groups, there is a variety of complexity among the different pages. Some of the details may have "dangling lines" - lines that jut out or loop without necessarily closing into shapes, making them great for more "advanced" colorers. Experiment by coloring outside the lines, extending the lines yourself (or not!), using multiple colors blended together or an "ombre" style within a larger white space, or invent your own technique. These designs are intended as a jumping-off point to let your creativity fly.

I would classify this is as a "medium" or "expert" level - because of these "dangling lines" and the complexity of small detail on some of the pages.

Here are detail photos of the first two patterns - Renata and Chiarina:






The next two patterns are Vitale and Eustacia:






And the last two in this set of six are Amalia and Deliria:





I also made a "digital example" of how the Pattern Deliria page could be colored:





I only started making these radial designs recently, so I haven't yet had a chance to use them in any watercolor paintings of my own. In any case, now that I'm sharing these digital designs with you, you can experiment with them yourself!
