Are you ready to turn your watercolor paintings into a seamlessly repeating pattern, for use on products, fabric, and more? In this class, I will cover the steps involved from painting your watercolor elements, to scanning them in and cleaning them up in Photoshop, and finally creating your repeat pattern.
• Discover my tips for designing elements for patterns using watercolor • Learn how to clean up your watercolor paintings in Photoshop and remove the paper background • Have fun designing your pattern in Photoshop and learn how to create a perfectly repeating tile • Mockup your new pattern on products, and share your work with the class! 
There are lots of methods out there for creating repeat patterns - this method is perfect for you if you want to keep the handmade texture of your watercolor paintings or drawings and prefer using Photoshop over Illustrator. This is also a great class for any new or aspiring surface designer.
