The project for this class was a lot of fun! For my theme I chose tropical elements, I wanted to include monkeys, and to them, I added fruits, toucans, palm trees, and tropical leaves. First, I gathered a lot of photo references, I created the elements using black watercolors and a fine liner brush.

Following along the lessons and practicing the fundamentals, I could achieve different styles of patterns from the initial elements. I'm surprised how versatile conversationals can be and I can imagine them for kidswear, womenswear, and menswear.

Thank you Silvia for this amazing class!
