Draw & Paint Islamic Patterns: Eightfold Islamic Geometry

Course details

In each of the four Sections you will learn to construct a different Islamic Geometric Pattern using a compass and ruler.

Section 2: An Itimud Ud Daula Pattern - The  Mausoleum Walls

Section 3: A Bou Inania Pattern -  The Wooden Jaali

Section 4: An Alhambra Pattern - The Static Geometric Rosette Variation

Section 5: A Moroccan Pattern - The Classic Zellige

These patterns each have a different underlying grid all based on one circle being divided into eight. Once the pattern is constructed, you will see how to trace, transfer and tile the pattern in to a bigger composition. 

I will also provide  alternative tilings and variations so that you can create a final composition of your choice. I will complete each unit by showing you how I use watercolour pencils and paints on watercolour paper to create a final colourful composition for each unit.
