About This Workshop
This is the second workshop in a 5 part series. The series builds on each other, taking the student from concept to pattern, pattern to collection, and collection to portfolio. While students have opportunity to take the entire series, you are not required to.
During this session, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start creating motifs from photographs and watercolor paintings. I’ll walk you through the essential steps in my classes: Intro to Surface Pattern Design and Watercolor for Surface Pattern Design. You’ll first learn how to photograph a subject for your patterns, scan them in and begin to illustrate motifs from the photos you take. Next, you’ll learn how to incorporate painted elements into your designs, whether their simple strokes or detailed florals.
At the end of this workshop, you’ll have 4 repeating patterns designed from your very own photos and paintings. The perfect next step to a complete pattern collection!
If you’d like to join the entire 5 part series, we’d love to have you! Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pro, this 5 part series will be engaging as it prompts you to create new work and advance your career in pattern design. You’ll get lots of feedback on your work + any questions answered along the way.
