I’ve turned the normal process of pattern design on its head and you’ll be learning how to create the framework for the pattern first and then illustrate your motifs at the very end!

This makes it a great technique to learn even if you use traditional mediums like watercolour or gouache to illustrate your motifs; you can create your pattern layout and then use your sketch as a guide to only paint the motifs that you actually need!

I’ll show you how to set your canvas up so you can see exactly where your pattern edges meet so that you can create seamlessly flowing patterns on the fly.

It’s almost like working with a pattern preview and I know you’re going to love creating patterns this way because it really streamlines your workflow!
