Painting Motifs for Surface Pattern design collections - Session 2

Sunday April 12, 2026 11:30am - 1:30pm PDT

Birds? dogs? flowers? Cakes? Lets paint them all to create fun motif-centric patterns for your dress and quilting fabrics (and wall paper, giftwares, etc. too!) Learn how to use reference images (or go on your own) how to work on each motif using watercolor and gouache while still thinking of them as a collection. Learn how to use these motives to create a repeat pattern for fabric or paper and individually for product: mugs, tableware, stationary, etc.
