One of the beauties of being a surface pattern and textile designer is to discover the myriad of ways of displaying ideas. The images in this page tell the story of the many techniques I have learned through my years of training. Hand painted designs give a unique look to a motif and therefore a layout.

The first two images one is the original fabric and the second the perfect color matching rendition to the original, followed by watercolor techniques, dyes, crayons and the most used technique: gouache. This is all fun!
