Botany flowers in Pattern Design

Many years ago, famous artists like Pierre Redoute have studied botany art and released painting studying flowers. Drawing each stem, and petal with as many details and painting using techniques that make the painting almost alive.

Modern flower painting took a different direction by using digital mediums like a desktop, iPad, or a tablet. Digital flower painting can be as detailed as the real life element, but it doesn’t always have the feeling of the real painting.

When designing botany flowers for a pattern project, the designer can choose what medium to use and painting tools. Each choice the designer makes will result in a different design. How many details to add? Digital or hand drawn? Add colored or black strokes for the elements? Each choice will lead to a specific design.

In this post, I’ll explain visually how each choice will result in a different design. I’m using the same design but with differences and will show you how each design will look like on a full scale. But before processing any further, you can freely use your choice of software. For this design project, I’m using Adobe Illustrator on iPad.

The main element used here is flowers.
