Find fresh and unique pattern ideas by tapping into the magnificent world of nature!

 

In this class, you’ll learn how to spot and extract embellishing motifs from microscope imagery, plant life close-up shots, and even drone photography.

 

I’ll then show you how to mix and match your sketches and refine them to build a library of unique embellishing ideas reflecting your style and taste.

 

In a series of fun exercises, I'll demonstrate how you can apply ready patterns to different projects so that you can create your original works of art.

 

This easy and enjoyable process will be perfect for beginners, as well as more experienced artists feeling stuck in a creative rut and by the end of this class you will develop a collection of fresh pattern ideas you’ll be able to use to:
