Taught by Cleo Papanikolas
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.

This is a great way to learn about repeat patterns and to try to use a site like Spoonflower to make your own fabrics or make your printables for card-making projects. I watched it all the way through first, and now I'll go back and actually do the daily practice to try everything out.
What a great intro into surface design. Thank you.

I loved this class! I have learned a lot and I have got really inspired by how Cleo just keeps working and moving on, not trying to get it perfect, and still getting great results. Some times I get stuck on trying to make it perfect and this class helped me to move on. Thanks Cleo!
