  • Jason Bellchamber shows the 6 steps in drawing a simple Celtic Triskele knot. The earliest instance is from the Meigle Stone from Scotland from the late 6th Century. This simple Pictish trillium knot is found later in the Book of Kells, the Book fo Linsdisfarne and the Book of Durrow. For more info visit Www.Bellchamber.net. Once you master this pattern a repeating pattern for it in a border is here • How to Draw Celtic Pat...

    Seriously THE most helpful instructions I've ever found for knotwork and I've looked all over the place. I just spent the last hour committing the triskele to memory and practicing free handing it. Thank you a million times over.

    I think it's great the way you've explained and demonstrated this so clearly by free-handed. I've seen so many complicated directions that are more likely to put people off rather than make viewers feel that they can achieve celtic knotwork!

      Thank you for the kind words. I have a complicated one later in the series drawn with a compass. I'm sure you may think it's easy with a few tries too.

    Only took me nine tries to get it! (That is a compliment. These are harder than they look) THANK YOU!!!! Best video I have found so far. Huge help.

      Glad to help. If you sketch it 100 times you'll never forget how. Let me know how it goes.

    Thank you
    It's great to learn a little history while learning art.
    I am Scottish and think that you do justice to the traditional drawing.

      Right? It's always been the artistic equivalent of calculus to me. And I am no mathematician.

    I really could do it! I found it easy following step by step - even tall skinny or wide & fat triangles! Thanks so much.

      Great! Glad you like them. The newest segments I've just posted here How to Draw Celtic Patterns 106 - Triquetra interlace from Book of Kells 1of7 (starting with video 106) are the same interlace pattern with an extension in one direction. It'd be a good 2nd pattern to try.

    You can also do the 4triangles in the middle and connect the lines. It works

    It's interesting that even sided shapes (square, hexagon) divide into 2 when a knot is construced within it. But odd sided shapes (triangele, pentagon, heptagon) the knots don't divide.

    The Triskele is actually a greek symbol wich was later adopted by by the Gauls and the insular Celts, you can find it on the flag of the Isle of Man and the one of Sicily (a former greek colony), while the Triquetra is the one you drew, a fantastic job otherwise, it really got me inspired, thank you.

    Am i having a difficult time trying to transfer these design to the viking battle axes I fabricated from old farm implementations and furniture wood! They look bad ass as they are but if i can etch the steel and burn the wood with these designs itll be a game changer!

    • @TheCelticGoldsmith
      @TheCelticGoldsmith  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try going slow and being patient with yourself. Start with just drawing a triangle (maybe 10 times) until you are comfortable with that. Then putting a dot in the center. Then the rest of the steps.

    • @TheCelticGoldsmith
      @TheCelticGoldsmith  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      drawing them out as a set of steps like the video shows helps too,.
