MIXING PATTERNED PAPER | H by Lisa Dickinson

Combine prints with a mix of motif densities.

Density refers to how tightly grouped the pattern elements are on the paper. Mixing with a variety of densities is a great way to get balance and successful combinations.

  • Lisa Dickinson mixed three prints on this page about her son’s new trumpet. She’s skillfully mixed:
    color,
    scale, and
    density.

The small yellow print is the most densely packed print, the red is a little looser, and the blue print has the most space between motifs.
