Want to learn how to turn your hand-painted artwork into seamless patterns in Adobe Photoshop? Repeat patterns are key to succeeding in surface design, especially with fabrics, wallpaper, and home decor products.

In this class, you’ll learn the full process, from watercolor painting to arranging your pattern on your computer, so you can sell your designs online through print-on-demand (POD) websites like Spoonflower, Society6, and Redbubble.

I’ve sold over 100,000 products on Society6 alone. Learning professional techniques to digitize and enhance your patterns is crucial for selling your artwork online.

In this class, you’re going to learn the exact steps I take to prepare my seamless pattern files for print-on-demand sites like Society6, Spoonflower and Redbubble, as well as art licensing in general.

We’ll focus on the key steps to take when creating professional repeat patterns:

Paint or draw your illustrations by hand.
Digitize your artwork through scanning or photographing.
Arrange your elements in Photoshop using the Pattern Fill tool.
Create a variety of on-trend color palettes.
Infuse metallic textures into your artwork.
Arrange into a perfect seamless pattern.
Upload your designs to print-on-demand sites.

One key factor for success with passive income streams like art licensing and print-on-demand is making sure your artwork translates beautifully from paper to screen. This class will be tailored to that process.

There is so much more to the process than just painting your design and arranging it into a seamless pattern to sell online. What you do in-between those actions can make the difference between an average piece and a best-seller.
