The Drawing Studio

This is a two-day workshop, Apr 10 and Apr 11. Lunch not provided, please bring your own. 

Part investigation, part creation, this class will look at both natural and man-made repeating patterns. You will recreate similar patterns both using traditional drawing media, and then later on your iPad using the Procreate application. The class will cover how to create seamless patterns, how to check and fix their repeats, and combine multiple patterns into one repeating pattern. Learn to create pattern files for print on demand fabric and wallpaper vendors.

Materials not included. Please bring the following:

Your favorite traditional media - pencils, paints, crayons, markers, etc - along with an appropriate paper or sketchbook. I will have a limited amount of traditional art supplies and paper to share along with some acrylic markers. If you only work digitally, that is not a problem. An iPad fully charged with Procreate installed from the App Store along with an Apple Pencil that works with your iPad. A sense of whimsy and exploration. We are going to have fun. I will provide transparency sheets for some of our exercises.
