L'aquarelle sans peur : la peinture pour la conception de motifs

Love your work. My daughter follows your tutorials. I am not on Procreate I prefer to paint

Thank you! There’s something so nice about using real paint that Procreate can’t quite do… though I do enjoy both.

Hi AmieWow, this is fantastic! I love your bold style! You have a really great range of shapes as well as scale - your experience of making repeat patterns digitally is evident! And your color palette is lovely - I like how you've limited it, and I especially like the grey-greens and the neutrals, in contrast to the lovely saturated reds and golden yellows. Well done and thank you for sharing your project. Also, thank you for the lovely review of the class, this is much appreciated! I'm really glad you found hand painting to be relaxing. Catherine

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! I liked the process so much I made another.

Oh wow that's fantastic Amie! Can I see it? Will you share it here? I LOVED the reel you put on instagram. Seeing how other people do it will be massively motivating for anyone who's tempted but afraid to try.

Hopefully it uploaded… it’s a watercolor winter forest pattern. I might actually like it more than the first floral! My only concern is that my watercolor blocks were not all identical in size, like a couple millimeters off… do you think that will affect the process of stitching them together?

Wow I love this Winter forest pattern, thank you for uploading it!  You have really nailed the use of value in this, from super light to dark. This would look lovely as bedding, eg. a duvet cover!  It's not a problem that the blocks are not identical in size, it will just require a little bit more work in the editing phase. But it should be pretty easy for this painting. Thanks, Catherine

So enjoyable that I had to make another! For this Winter forest I used watercolor and inks. I took the photo after I already removed them from the blocks&hellip; so not as flat looking on this one.&nbsp;

This is my first try, so I just painted a bunch of random florals in gouache. Actually quite relaxing to paint!&nbsp;
