Pattern Design from Nature

Description

Natural forms such as leaves, shells and branches can be turned into repeating patterns. These seven PDF lessons begin with nature’s patterns and finding inspiration in everyday surroundings, then cover basic drawing techniques for natural forms.

You then create simple repetitive patterns, learn color theory for natural palettes, and build a first collection of nature patterns. The last lesson applies the patterns to real projects. Exercises are included in several lessons. The lessons are written for readers with no design training, so each idea is explained from the start. Reference tables in the PDFs help you plan your patterns and keep track of your collection as it grows.

Who it is for: beginners who want to create their own patterns from natural shapes.
