Watch the 1-hour online class of watercolor artist and pattern designer Katya Rozz for a series of short and informative video lessons about creating detailed botanical illustrations and adapting them specially to surface pattern design needs. In this class Katya demonstrates a step-by-step botanical painting of watercolor pink orchids and creates a sophisticated repeat pattern ready to use on fashion items such as scarves, phone cases, etc.

Botanical illustration is very popular these days. But traditional botanical illustration is a quite time-consuming and difficult process. In this class (and other my classes) I try to simplify the process and to split it into simple-to-follow steps. I teach which things we may skip while painting in order to save time and which are vital for your illustrations.  

Also, I give some useful tips and tricks on how to create good flow and movement in your patterns.

Today, I’m going to teach you my process of creating floral patterns step-by-step. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced artist looking to expand your painting techniques, this class covers it all:

• Composition basics
• Art supplies I recommend
• Tips for drawing out the confident sketch before diving into a final illustration
• Mixing a natural color palette for your motifs
• Building a strategy for watercolor painting, dividing all the work into layers ahead of painting
• Tips about scanning and processing the motifs before creating a repeat pattern
• An overview of creating a sophisticated floral repeat pattern
