Continuing the Art of Play
February 24, 2021

Artist: Polina Oshu


About the artist:

A surface pattern designer currently based in Riga, Latvia. She recieved a degree in graphic design at the University of Industrial Technologies and Design in St. Petersburg, Russia.

She loves to create floral and abstract patterns for printing on textile, paper goods. Her art can be executed in knitting and her illustrations for packaging, books, etc.


Warm-up:

We will warm-up this week by creating some simple patterns inspired by Polina Osha.

You might want to grab some stencils of floral, and plants if you have them. Or simply use abstract shapes to create your patterns. Note how Osha overlaps her designs and her use of a very simple color palette and saturated color application.

You may use permanent markers, posca paint pens, acrylic paint, or even watercolors.

Project:

Your warm-up will lead you to a finished pattern development for your project.
