This is the second of two courses run back-to-back by award-winning botanical artist Janie Pirie, and will guide you through the process of making a repeat pattern using botanical imagery. Repeat patterns are used widely on wallpaper, wrapping paper and fabrics. You can choose a floral theme, foliage or just flowing shapes based loosely on a botanical subject. For inspiration, look at any of William Morris’ designs. Once the pattern has been created you will introduce colour to the design, developing a harmonious palette of carefully chosen colours to bring everything together. You will then work with coloured pencils, watercolour or water-soluble pencils to complete your design.
