How to Transform Hand-Painted Watercolor Artwork into a Complete Surface Pattern Design Collection
The entire collection begins with hand-painted watercolor sketches of abstract flowers and botanical elements, forming the foundation of each design.
I love painting by hand with watercolors because it allows subtle gradients, organic edges, and painterly textures to emerge naturally. The analog method gives the designs the boho-chic look that is at the heart of my style.
My creative process combines the warmth of traditional watercolor painting with the precision required for professional textile pattern design. It typically involves several stages (and long hours!): from painting dozens botanical and floral motifs to refining stylized forms and creating cohesive repeat patterns for home decor textile collections, quilting projects and licensing applications.
