Pattern Coloring Mega Pack

As I've been teasing all week with these posts about my mini coloring packs on Etsy (each of which comes with a 6-page PDF with 6 unique designs), I also have a MEGA pack available which has all 44 of my pattern coloring page designs all together in one set. This includes 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. I'm asking only $11.99 for the set - which is a few dollars cheaper than buying the mini-packs individually, plus you get those two extra designs you can't get anywhere else. It also averages to about 27 cents a design, which is a pretty great deal!

As soon as you buy them, you will be able to download the PDF (1 PDF with 6 pages, or 1 PDF with 44 pages, in the case of the mega pack), store them on your computer, and print as many copies as you want to have fun and experiment with.

Because the mini-packs range from beginner to expert level, all sorts of designs are included here. You get the simple designs with bold lines, the complex, detailed patterns, the radial symmetry patterns, the outline packs, and the "advanced" designs that have lines which jut out or loop without necessarily closing into shapes, giving you the freedom to experiment with coloring outside the lines, extending the lines (or not), or playing with blending or bleeding multiple colors together in an "ombre" style.

Here is the entire set of 44 designs - "Pattern Coloring Mega Pack" (available for purchase here).

Here are detail photos of the two bonus patterns - Aurelia and Victoria. (For detailed photos of the other 42 designs, check the previous 7 posts on this blog, which feature the mini-packs.)

I also made "digital examples" of how seven of the patterns could be colored:

I originally made these patterns to use in my own artwork - as background details for watercolor paintings, and for small watercolor paintings that feature only patterns. (For more on how I design my patterns, see this post.)

Here are some examples of how I've used these designs in my own watercolors:

Pattern Aurelia in Pink (4"x6" watercolor on paper)
- this is one of the bonus designs only available with this mega pack of 44 patterns!

Pattern Victoria in Yellow-Pink (4"x6" watercolor on paper)
- this is one of the bonus designs only available with this mega pack of 44 patterns!

Pattern Virginia in Blue & Red (5"x7" watercolor on paper)

Pattern Organza in Blue-Violet (4"x6" watercolor on paper)

Pattern Genesis in Blue-Green (4"x6" watercolor on paper)

"When Fear Gets in the Way" (11"x15" watercolor on paper)
- the light yellow-brown pattern in the background is Pattern Darcy

"L'eau de Parfum" (15"x22" watercolor on paper)
- the blue pattern in the background is Pattern Crystal

"Melange Modele" (22"x30" watercolor on paper)
- Pattern Crystal can be found in a few places in this pattern collage painting, as well

If you're interested, "When Fear Gets in the Way" is for sale on Etsy here and "L'eau de Parfum" is for sale here. ("Melange Modele" has already sold, and my 4"x6" and 5"x7" watercolor paintings are currently for sale at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts in downtown Rochester, Michigan. Any that do not sell there will be back available on Etsy when I get them back.)

I love using these patterns (obviously) in my watercolors - and now I'm excited to share them with you as coloring pages!

I designed each of these patterns with Adobe Illustrator, manipulating letters and characters from font families to the point where individual letters are (mostly) unrecognizable - unless you know where to look. Each of these patterns is totally unique - you won't find them anywhere else!

Pattern Coloring Pack #7

We finally made it to the last "mini-pack" of my Pattern Coloring Book Series on Etsy. Today's post is all about Pattern Coloring Pack #7, 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 #7" (available for purchase here).

The patterns used in this set are Jayda, Crinoline, Organza, Zehra, Leander, and Juliet. I grouped these six together because they all have some amount of "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. As with all my groups, there is a variety of complexity among the different pages.

I would classify this is as "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 - Jayda and Crinoline:

The next two patterns are Organza and Zehra:

And the last two in this set of six are Leander and Juliet:

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

I've used some of these patterns in my watercolor paintings. Here's a look:

Pattern Organza in Blue-Violet (4"x6" watercolor on paper)

Pattern Juliet in Blue, Green & Yellow (5"x7" watercolor on paper)

(Pattern Juliet has already sold. My other 4"x6" and 5"x7" watercolor paintings are currently for sale at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts in downtown Rochester, Michigan. Any that do not sell there will be back available on Etsy when I get them back.)

I love using my patterns in watercolor paintings - and now I'm sharing those digital designs with you, so you can experiment with them as a coloring page!

Pattern Coloring Pack #6

Today's post is all about Pattern Coloring Pack #6, 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 #6" (available for purchase here).

The patterns used in this set are Julia, Nicole, Melissa, Alicia, Tamika, and Velvet. I grouped these six together because I altered the patterns into "outlines," so that they can be colored inside the pattern as well as in the space between the lines.

Keep in mind that the pattern itself does not have lines inside of it to break it up into smaller shapes, so feel free to try out some more "advanced" techniques in those larger white spaces. Experiment by blending or bleeding multiple colors together or using an "ombre" style within the pattern - or invent your own technique altogether. These designs are intended as a jumping-off point to let your creativity fly.

Because of this characteristic - as well as the sometimes small details and skinny lines, I would classify this as an "expert" level.

Here are detail photos of the first two patterns - Julia and Nicole:

The next two patterns are Melissa and Alicia:

And the last two in this set of six are Tamika and Velvet:

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

I have used a few of these patterns in my artwork. Here some of the paintings I've made:

Pattern Velvet in Bright Green (5"x7" watercolor on paper)

Pattern Tamika in Yellow-Green (4"x6" watercolor on paper)

(My 4"x6" and 5"x7" watercolor paintings are currently for sale at the Paint Creek Center for the Arts in downtown Rochester, Michigan. Any that do not sell there will be back available on Etsy when I get them back.)
