Materials and Resources

This class requires an iPad and Apple Pencil or other tablet and stylus combo along with Adobe Fresco.

With an Adobe CC account you will have access to Adobe Fresco and many other Adobe apps with one subscription. Adobe also offers free trials of its apps so you can start with the free trial if you don’t want to commit to paying for the app immediately but it won’t offer all of the premium features.

In the Projects & Resources section, you will find:

A list of common pattern repeat types
75 themes for your patterns
20 color palettes

A little about me:

- I have a Bachelors of Fine Art and over three decades of experience as an artist. I have been using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil since early 2016 (shortly after its initial launch). I tested many drawing apps and tools over the years and have a lot of experience working on the iPad.

- I started using Adobe Fresco when it was launched in 2019 and use it regularly to create my illustrations and motifs for my surface patterns. With the addition of some new features in 2022, I can now turn those motifs into seamless repeating patterns right in Adobe Fresco without having to export them.

- I learned with pencil and paper but have transitioned to working digitally to create my art so I know first hand how intimidating the switch from traditional media to digital media can be in the beginning. I also know the benefits of working digitally to save time and resources and increase productivity.
