Hexagon Honeycomb Lattice Glass Panel Coloring Page

This panel is pure pattern. A lattice of hexagons and rounded rings covers the whole surface, overlapping and interlacing rather than sitting in a tidy grid, so the cells vary in size and shape as they cross. Small diamonds sit at the joints where the rings meet, and behind the interlacing a second layer of diagonal bars runs corner to corner, filling the gaps with triangles.

A border of small square dentils runs round all four sides between two heavy rules, which gives the loose interior something firm to sit inside.

There is no subject here and no focal point, which makes this a sheet for working methodically rather than planning a composition. The reward is the interlacing: because the rings overlap, you can color the overs and unders in different values and the lattice will appear to weave in three dimensions. That effect is worth the extra thought before you start.

Alternatively, pick three tones and distribute them across the cells so no two neighbors match, which is the traditional glazier's approach and never looks wrong.

The cells are medium sized, so markers work for the larger ones and a pencil is better in the diamonds. This is a long sitting. Expect well over an hour.
