It can seem to be a very complex and difficult pattern to create, but in this class I’ll show you a row of different types of Paisleys you can create. In class we’ll take a look at the history behind the pattern, how it has evolved, what has influenced it, how it’s been used and is used today. Then we’re doing a pattern close-up to study the different types, layouts, compositions and the characteristic motifs. You’ll also get the chance to practice your drawing skills and get acquainted with the Paisley style in a row of fun exercises. After that I’ll take you through my process of creating a Paisley pattern using Illustrator.

At the end of this course you’ll have at least one Paisley pattern that you can use for all kinds of purposes:

- As a kickstarter for a pattern collection
- Include in your portfolio and present to companies
- Publish and sell on print-on-demand services like Spoonflower and Society6 etc.
- Publish and sell on pattern banks.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This course is for students who wants a bit of an academic perspective when learning about pattern design and not only the how-to. And it’s for all of you who have started your pattern design journeys - whether it’s a hobby or if you’re on your way to make it your profession, or if you’re already there. It’s for you who want a bit of a challenge and take on more advanced patterns.

This is an intermediate to advanced course. Some of the designs we’ll be making are a bit more simple and some are quite advanced so there will be something for everyone as long as you have a basic knowledge in how to create a pattern repeat in Adobe Illustrator, which is what I’m using and teaching in this course.
