Paint a Half Drop Repeat Pattern by Hand | Watercolour Cherry Blossoms

Half drop repeat patterns are often used on fabric and wallpaper. Here's one way to paint them by hand. In this video I focus more on the hand drawing and painting aspect of making patterns. To make them useful, it's helpful to have a scanner and some photoshop skills. Here are some videos you may want to watch to help with the more technical parts of the process. My video on editing a seamless repeating pattern in photoshop can be found here:    • Editing a seamless repeating pattern ...   Photoshop has a pattern preview function which allows you to see how a full-drop repeat looks. Sadly, it doesn't yet work with half-drop repeats, but this really useful video from 383 Design Studio shows how to use photoshop's smart objects and the offset filter to preview your half drop repeating pattern:    • How to Create a Half Drop Repeat in P...   To paint the cherry blossoms, please find the step-by-step tutorial here:    • Watercolour Cherry Blossoms | Paint F...   This project is part of my season of art tutorials themed around drawing, painting and printing patterns.
