Los Angles based artist Elizabeth Patterson uses colored pencils and solvent to recreate, very faithfully, the absurdly complex formation that water droplets make on rain-streaked windshields. Patterson begins with her own photography and often utilizes several images for a single drawing, finding the details and patterns that feel right for each composition. Patterson’s imagery is strikingly similar to Gregory Thielker, whose artwork I wrote about back in 2010. While Thielker artwork is oil based, Patterson relies on colored pencils.
