Surface Pattern Design is a natural extension of what to do with some of the paintings I create. Usually, it is oil pastels or watercolor with acrylics. There are certain things that are just better created with Procreate digitally. I just trade my paintbrush for my digital pen. It is also nice to try new ideas or simply to be able to draw when I am too ill to get down to my studio. I keep my iPad handy for these occasions.
I loaded this mosaic beauty up to my Spoonflower shop to sell as fabric and wallpaper. I love the texture and color palette! For this design, I started with this basic shell template, knowing that I would be making a seamless pattern with the motif later.
Procreate has so many wonderful brushes, and with a few simple layering techniques, a motif is born! 🙂

Here is the design on a wallpaper roll mockup. You can see the texture up close.
Using the template (staying inside the line) will ensure you can they meet each other with no gaps.
