Symmetrical Repeat


This type of repeat is much more interesting and also quite simple where a shape or image is repeated by flipping the image to create an aesthetically pleasing pattern. It is called a "symmentrical repeat."  Here I have used a water colour brush to create my initial design and then flipped it horizontally and vertically to create  the repeat.

Block repeat: Stripes


This repeat is quite simle and is referred to as "block repeat" where the stripe pattern is repeated in this example.

Watercolour Hair



This task was really interesting and i enjoyed the experimentation of using different types of watercolour brushes. The most difficult part of this task for me was downloading the brush palettes from brusheezy.com and It took me a while to realise how download and open it on my computer. . Also i didnt really know how to blend the face so that it would work harmoniously with the hair. Other than that the task was easy and fun.
