Picasso said, "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." This month, artist, author and educator, Cleo Papanikolas teachs the old-school tracing and transferring techniques used by designers before computers to create analog surface design patterns that can be used to print fabric, wallpaper, tiles, puzzles, and more. In the final three days, she shows us how to digitize the work with Photoshop and Procreate, and how to upload to Spoonflower to make all your artistic designs a reality.
Cleo is painting with gouache but feel free to use any medium of your choice.

So much information in this class. It was so helpful to have a bunch of different ways to create the pattern grid so we can play around with patterns. I really appreciated all the different examples the instructor showed us - very inspiring - thank you.
