Learning to adjust the scale on a pattern is not overly difficult, but it is a challenge to combine a bunch of patterns effectively. I put this class together to practice just that! And what better a way to do it than on a quilt? Another super-fun thing about this class is that you will get to play with and make your very own two-color brushes! I provide a master so that you can simply replace the grain with patterns you already have. Don’t worry! I take you through the whole process step-by-step. I spent months working on this brush!

You will love the fact that you can create these brushes then specify the two colors right on the color wheel. I am demonstrating it using “pressure” as the variable that changes from the primary to the secondary color. I think it will be fun for you to experiment with all the settings, and I give you some tips for doing that throughput the class.

This class, Create a Quilt with 2 Color Pattern Brushes, will show you some of strategies for experimentation, and quick ways to make the brushes from existing or newly created patterns. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a full patchwork quilt illustration, notably with stitching details we apply at the end to make it super realistic! The template I provide is all separated out complete with the built-in clipping masks. I use this method to be sure the pattern areas that we’ll be creating are completely editable. The main attraction of this class is definitely creating and using the two-color brushes to create these pattern areas.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

• my step-by-step method for creating quick patterns

• tips for creating brushes that will co-ordinate well with each other

• my workflow for use of layers and other great features like clipping masks

• adjusting pattern size (grain), colors, and values to create a pleasing arrangement

• methods for keeping the art fully editable for later adjustments and recoloring

If you have a good basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps really easily. This class will benefit anyone who loves to work with pattern and needs help visualizing how scale and values contribute to the over-all success of a finished quilt (illustration).

The key concepts I will include:

• review of my new two-color brush set-up

• a look at design and composition when dealing with combined patterns

• approaches you can take to stay organized

Even if you are not sure what you will use the finished quilt illustration for, you will get much satisfaction from this project! You will love the new brush ideas I give you in class today. I guarantee you will create something amazing, and it’s so easy , once you get the hang of it!

Intro to Create a Quilt with 2 Color Pattern Brushes

This short intro will give you an overview of the class. I am so excited to introduce you to the two-color brush!

Lesson 1: Inspiration and an Overview of Objectives

In this lesson, I will give an overview of the document set-up, including importing the color palette which I provide. You will also receive an overview of my documents and the template. We look at some inspiration online as well, to get you imagining what you can do.
