#39 Draw & Paint a fuller tiling: Persian Orosi Glass Islamic Geometric Pattern

If you want to learn more about Islamic Geometry, visit www.samiramian.uk
I've been refining & extending my drawings and therefore updating my videos!
Some people enjoy drawing a single repeat unit of the pattern and then repeating the pattern using tracing paper (me!), others enjoy drawing the pattern several times in a fuller tiling (also me!) so hence this video.
This pattern continues to be a bit of a mystery. It's one that we haven't yet been able to find an exact historical example of. We being the FB geometry family:
m.facebook.com....
What I do know is that it can be traced back to a plate in Prisse d'Avennes' late 19th century book of Islamic patterns from Cairo. It also is in keeping with the Persian wood work that you see with Orosi glass facades in Iran. Many examples exisit, hence the name.
Regardless of it's mystery, we still love it, but would be happier seeing it in situ somewhere historically... so if you can help... do let me know!

Thank you for sharing this! your work is very mesmerizing I enjoy watching every process of it. So much depth into this geometric pattern...just amazing.

[@vidyajoshi9046]

I've done it ! But wasn't brave enough to do it in ink, so I'm now inking it :) And tomorrow I'll paint it. Thanks again for making it so easy to follow, though I do love it when you speak and tell us what you're doing.

[@seekthelight9404]

I am new to this channel and you are awesome. I was just wondering wouldn't it be better of you explain little bit more by speaking when you draw. I might be wrong.. you are doing great job. Sometime ago I searched alot on youtube but didn't find you at that time. I am grateful that now I have found you.

[@samiramian]

I did a few like that, and a few without.....just experimenting whilst also doingb what i fancy!

[@amnamoazzamdar6478]

Hi Samira! Hope you're doing well. This pattern is by far my favourite and I cannot wait to try it. But what I would like to know which pencil did you use for this and what size lead? Thanks xx

[@samiramian]

[@samiramian]

Try www.samiramian.uk/twelvefold or www.samiramian.uk/fivefold lots of tips and extra information in the videos and on the website.

[@mohdtarmizi238]

Really love this pattern. Can water colour apply to wall or any suggestion to me

[@samiramian]

thank you, i doubt it but I've never worked on a wall...

[@anumshahid8136]

I absolutely love your work Samira! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing tutorials. I’ve discovered a new hobby thanks to you :) So i was wondering if there was a particular reason why you didnt make this in pencil? And if I were to make this in pencil would I need to keep certain things in mind? Also, If i wanted to fill a larger space with this pattern, should i just increase the number of circles i draw in the beginning? Thanks so much in advance for your response!

[@samiramian]

I'm so glad! I draw in both pencil and pen... so just mood and preference, pencil is better for beginners for sure. and yes you're right you would draw a bigger arrangement of circles

[@wesamghanim341]

Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@mahmoudali308]

ما شاء الله تبارك الرحمن ربنا يديم عليك النعمة ويزيدك من واسع فضله يا بنت الحلال إذا ممكن أستفسر عن مرجع موثوق للأشكال والزخارف الإسلامية سواء الهندسية أو النباتية التراثية الأصلية هل موجود مرجع موثوق يضم أمهات التصاميم وأصولها!؟ وهل يتضمن شرح لكل حقبة تراثية وما تحتويه من تصاميم

[@samiramian]

thank you! this pattern can be found in different places, but I found so many examples in Persian Orosi glass, I used this name but ofcourse it is not exclusive to this region.

[@walkoflifewol3058]

so beautiful! subscribed for my next project. thank you!

[@samiramian]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@yusufakhtar2209]

Umm I just have one question, How do you not make a hole on the page when making a circle cuz it always happens with me.

[@samiramian]

do not press too hard, have a light touch and the type of compass you have may need to be changed? see www.samiramian.uk/equipment

[@musafirsblog]

Assalamu aleykum.I'm from Uzbekistan and i want to learn to draw patterns and ornaments like this, insha'Allah. Could you recommend some books or textbooks where i can learn this art?

[@musafirsblog]

Saved your videos, insha'Allah i will draw them step by step,thank you for your tutorials

[@samiramian]

see www.samiramian.uk/books 😊

[@sophia-luciakwon2792]

Samira, thank you So much for sharing~ Can you also please tell us how you know to draw the lines? Do you have a reference beside you or are you doing this by memory or by knowing the fundamentals of these patterns ?

[@samiramian]

im short...thre are fundamentals that need to be maintained and followed! Please see my website, especially the books section to get a fuller sense of this www.samiramian.uk/books

[@annabellesreberny6680]

At 6.40, how do you derive the measure for the new inner circle? I cannot see how you got that!

[@samiramian]

see the slide at 6.32
