Bloom to Repeat

Bloom to Repeat: A Watercolor Florals to Seamless Pattern Mini Course Turn your loose, hand-painted florals into a professional, seamless repeating pattern, no advanced painting skills or Photoshop experience required. Bloom to Repeat is my mini course for anyone who loves to paint but wants their art to go further than a page in a sketchbook. In just four lessons, I'll walk you through my exact process for taking a simple hand-painted floral bouquet and turning it into a beautiful, tileable surface pattern design, ready for fabric, wallpaper, stationery, apparel, and so much more. This course is for the watercolor artist who wants to paint loosely and joyfully, with no rules and no pressure, and still end up with something they can actually use and sell. I'm sharing my complete workflow, from sketching and underpainting to building depth, layering in mixed media, and creating the easiest repeating pattern in Photoshop. If you've ever admired dense, dreamy botanical patterns and wondered how they're made, this course pulls back the curtain. What's Inside Lesson One: Sketching and the Underpainting, my process for doodling loose floral bunches and building a foundation for the whole piece Lesson Two: Painted Details and Building Depth, how to create a balanced arrangement and layer color so your pattern repeat truly disappears Lesson Three: Mixed Media, my favorite colored pencils and how to add texture and richness without overworking the painting Lesson Four: Building the Repeat in Photoshop, the easiest method I know for turning your hand-painted florals into a seamless, tileable pattern A full digital guidebook with practice pages, note-taking pages, and a complete supplies list Access to the private Bloom to Repeat community, where you can share your work, ask questions, and get feedback Who This Course Is For Watercolor artists, surface pattern designers, botanical illustrators, and hobby painters who want to learn how to turn a hand-painted floral bouquet into a repeating pattern for products, fabric design, wallpaper, and digital downloads.
