Course Description

Overview

Have you ever wanted to turn your watercolor paintings into seamlessly repeating patterns?  Do you picture your watercolors on home decor, wallpaper, and fabric? In this class I want to show you every step for turning your watercolor paintings into repeat patterns that you can upload to print on demand sites like Spoonflower, Society 6, and Red Bubble, or you can use them for personal projects like greeting cards, throw pillows, or branding material.

We’ll cover how to make the four most common types of repeats, and how to hide your repeat seams.  By the end of this class you’ll know the easiest way to turn your hand painted or hand drawn elements into beautiful repeating patterns.  

Note: To take this class, you need to know how to digitize your watercolors first.  If you don't know how to do that yet, you can start with my beginner class here:Digitize & Upcycle Your Watercolor Paintings Using Photoshop
