non-printed pattern images in company with a sketch with the impression of the inspired pattern or print

one of the dutch photographer's facebook groups i am in, launched a summer project. take a series of at least 25 photo's during the summer months july and/or august, bundle them together in a small photo-book (pdf). show them in the group photo by photo and in the end together as a book. and because i am ‘prints and patterns’ all over lately, i thought i’ll mix up the two. (photography and the pattern thing) and that is how the theme of the book became clear: non-printed patterns. my intension was to find non-printed patterns with my camera as an inspiration source by designing new patterns. which i created in little sketches and impressions. very fun to do. i discovered a new way of looking at my surroundings to find the pattern treasures that would gave me material i could work with. and after that, it was a great way to practice my skills in sketching, in this case on my ipad. for this project i used the app.’sketch express’ for ipad. it has enough tools like brushes, layers, scaling, flipping, rotating, transparency, etc. and any color i would like to pick up. to show the source together with the invented pattern in the facebook group, i added the two in mini-collages. for the book, i used the separate photo and sketch on two facing pages. some additional information in text and that's it. so every day i finished one or two sketches of patterns out of the photo's i had taking earlier. in the end i came up with 31 photo's accompanied with their sketches. have fun flipping through the pages as i did creating them. esther


the pile of well-used cookbooks


as inspiration for a surprising pattern


natural stone


or the game of several shades in color


always a great moment through the summer season, forms a contrasting pattern


when the bright yellow rapeseed flower against the blue sky


the breakfast sandwich with radishes and celery


a pattern of colors and shapes


fascinating how one type of material in combination with light


create such an interesting pattern


beer coasters on the table,


the owner must have thought about the color combination


seeing flowers in a thermos cap.


mmmm


stacked containers of in booths


different ages and boxes


of old work benches


and pastel colors


of oil barrels

of water and sand


all your ducks in a row

tansy


surrounded by green


complex


concrete slabs


to be continued some day
