8x10 Pattern Watercolor Collection

Over the years, I've created lots of patterned watercolor paintings. Many are smaller in size (5"x7" or 4"6" - which I often frame as sets together with other similar small watercolors), but several are a slightly larger 8"x10" size as well. I recently bought several 11"x14" frames, matted down to 8"x10", and framed all of the 8"x10" pattern paintings I've made. 

Here is the entire collection (so far), all framed and ready:

As you can see, I try to make a variety of patterns, and use a variety of color schemes, so there's something for everyone to enjoy! I love looking at these finished paintings - I find them very meditative to look at, and I love that they're completely abstract and non-representational (but if you stare at them long enough, sometimes you can see things in the patterns after all)!

I have plans for more patterned watercolor paintings (of course), but now that I have 20 finished 8"x10" patterned paintings, I thought it would be nice to look back at them all as a series, to see how they look together (so far). :)

Pattern Leanna in Blue and Red

I loved this blue and red color scheme when I used it on some 5"x7" paintings a few years ago, so I reused it for this 8"x10" watercolor painting! First, I traced the pattern onto watercolor paper, and then began painting.

Once the finished painting was totally dry, I untaped it from the table. I also framed and matted it so it would be ready to hang (in either direction - horizontally or vertically).

Pattern Verity in Green and Pink

This green and pink patterned watercolor painting is 8"x10" in size, and was actually completed back in December 2019 - though I'm just now getting around to posting it here. :)

I traced the pattern onto watercolor paper, and taped it to the table so it would stay flat while I painted. Then I gradually went through the painting with two shades of green and opera pink watercolor tubes, letting the colors mix with wet-on-wet techniques to get some unique color transitions.

Once the painting was dry, I untaped it, and matted and framed it, so that the painting would be ready to hang. It's non-representational and completely abstract, so there's no true "top" or "bottom" (or "left" or "right" side); I even left the front unsigned, so it can be hung horizontally or vertically, in either direction.
