Whew! Just in time! I’ve been contemplating April’s pattern for awhile now. I originally thought I’d use some of the flowers I created separately with watercolor and put them together in Photoshop. But it wasn’t working – too stiff looking:
So I went back to what has worked in the past. I sketched some flowers and leaves with Sharpie on Bristol (nice and smooth) and scanned them in. I pieced them together in Photoshop, added color, and repeated the pattern. I’m happy with how it came out. I love the loose sketchy feel.
I tried to stay true to the colors of the plant I picked up at the supermarket. I think it’s a Dahlia. This little plant has been my inspiration all week! I do feel the color comes across a little Christmasy. Maybe it’s the shape of the leaves? I tried adjusting the hue in Photoshop and liked the results, especially the blue!

It’s a beautiful pattern, the colors compliment each other in all of your color schemes. If I had to decided which one to use, it would be really har. The first one is fall-y, the second one springy and the third one summery. Love them all! 🙂
Thank you! I love the whimsical element of doing the outlines by hand. I’m so glad you like them all!!
Super! Great job. Very colorful and cheerful …
Thank you! 🙂
