In this class, Emilie will teach you how to design colourful patterns using acrylic posca markers. Posca are paint markers that create beautiful smooth surfaces that give striking results for pattern design. Fill some notebooks with mini patterns and test out all the combinations of colour and shapes your imagination can think of! And enjoy this relaxing and mindful colouring art practice! 

Emilie will guide you through choosing your colour palettes, designing simple floral patterns and starting a notebook full of colours inspired by your everyday life. 

What will we cover?

We will learn how to create a simple mini booklet and fill it with 4 different patterns, increasing in complexity. Leave with your first book of mini patterns and the skills to fill a whole notebook at home.

In this class, you will learn:

  • Technique to design flat and colourful patterns
  • Choosing your colours 
  • Discover a regular mindful art practice, accessible to all
