Welcome to this new class of mine! Here I show you how to create an entire pattern collection with the help of just ONE flower (you heard me right!). This is a great creative exercise that can help you find new expressions, broaden your style and repertoire or help you get of a creative rut. This is also the class for you if you're interested in creating collections and want to get started!

I tend to do this exercise whenever I feel like I'm stuck or drawing the same thing over and over, to get new ideas and more variation in my designs.

In this class I will show you several ways to illustrate and work with one motif, how to digitize that work and how to build cohesive patterns that works together as a collection.

I will be working in Adobe Illustrator in this class so you need to be comfortable working in that program. If you're new to Illustrator I recommend that you take another class to learn the basics before you dive into this one!
