I have a true love for Celtic spirals. In fact anything celtic. I love the spiritual meanings, the lines that swoop, twist, turn and intertwine. Which color combo do you like? Or Do you have a color combo you'd like to see? #createwithcatcoq @catcoq #lrish #celtic #lreland #celticart #irisharts #socity6 #redbubble #doitfortheprocess #bonniechristineimmersion2021 (at Hudson Valley, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXyidsrP0C/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning, beautiful people! I’m so thrilled to be back working on my latest collection “Gaits to the Heart” on Icelandic horses! I had some really useful and professional feedback from the wonderful @bonniechristine in the mentorship hub! It’s amazing what her trained eye sees and her ability to put that into words is amazing! . So this morning I dug right in, and I’m hopeful that after reviewing my collection will have totally benefitted from a few tweaks! . I’ll be posting the revised collection soon! Thank you all for being here with me! . . . #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #immersionmentorship2021 #feedback #surfacepatterndesigner #surgacepatterndesign #iceland #icelandichorses #fireandice #icelandichorsesofinstagram #gaitstotheheart #collectionfeedback #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/CPVINp0nSD6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Good morning, beautiful world! The last few days I have been revising some details of my latest collection „Gaits to the heart“! . I have had some very helpful feedback from the #immersion2021 guide @ash_cascade_design about the colours. As she righteously pointed out the two colorways were too similar! . I now have created 2 completely new versions of the existing collection based on Iceland’s nickname „land of fire and ice“ — the first colorway representing „ice“, and the second „fire“! I believe the collection has profited so much from tweaking the colours, but is love to hear your opinion! . I‘m so grateful for having the opportunity to get feedback from all of you — thank you so much for stopping by! . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #iceland #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #gaitestotheheart #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COj5GdDHS4i/?igshid=qkc9djkdxcei

And, of course, there’s this one as well — I almost forgot to share with you! . I took a loooong detour for this one, sketching the head first, then starting to add the surrounding flowers, then realising instead of blender print, I was just about to create another hero pattern, so I started to subtract until I was left with “only” the head! . I don’t know how you feel about this, but I spend way more hours on the blender prints than I do in the heroes! As so often, simplicity is only achieved when it’s totally balanced — nothing to be added, nothing to be taken away! That to me is the highest goal one can achieve! Tell me whether you agree?!! . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #horseportrait #createcollections #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COanQ8GnWXJ/?igshid=updui65bbs3v

Hello beautiful world! Today I’m excited to announce that I have completed my mini-collection theming Icelandic horses! . For this blender print I have scanned in my jeans, and vectorised it in order to make it into a seamless repeat! Then I added the horses in two colour ways! . I guess tomorrow I will be able to share the whole collection with you! Still have to name each pattern and the whole collection! Off to do some brainstorming now! If you have any ideas for a name on Icelandic horses, please share them with me! Thank you so much x . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #jeans #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COaYnl7n27R/?igshid=z3ht2936w703

Good morning, wonderful world! I am having soooooo much fun uploading my motifs to my Redbubble shop! I realised, I didn’t leave a “link in bio”, because it seems, Instagram doesn’t allow me to do so?!!! . Well, in case you wanted to support an unknown artist by purchasing a few stickers, you could follow the link to my website, and you get to all my shops! (I have some prints in Spoonflower, as well as some chicken shirts @spreadshirt)! . Otherwise, I’ll make sure I keep you posted about the progress of my mini-collection on Icelandic horses (where this motif has been extracted from) — so exciting to see things falling into place! . Thanks for stopping by x . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COUvWybnAmQ/?igshid=1n8osigaqtu6w

Ahhh, today I’m taking a break from Illustrator to allow myself some time to digest the after-effects of Immersion 2021! It’s been so nice to wake up every morning and “get to work”! There was not a single day where I didn’t feel a desire to continue, evolve and learn! . Now it’s over, but I realised, there’s still lots to do! Beyond the collection work, I actually realised I had to take some steps towards sharing my work in order for the world to see! As Bonnie said, “you can be a great artist, but nobody knows that you exist”, unless you start sharing! . Here’s the first step I took! I uploaded my horse design to my Redbubble shop (link in bio), AND I ordered a bunch of stickers and — you guessed it — a cup! I’m exited to hold it in my very own hands and show you, what it really looks like! what would you like to see? . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #icelandichorse #iceland🇮🇸 #icelandichorsesofinstagram #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COSsL9_HxUW/?igshid=1eoh7chcafb6c

Yesterday we all graduated from immersion2021, and my mug arrived! It’s beautiful!! Thank you so much @bonniechristine! . Now I filled my mug with my favourite hot beverage (not tea, not coffee), and I’m adding blender prints to my mini-collection on Icelandic horses! If you really zoom in close you might see some tossed apples, and something that looks like a floral, but it’s actually scanned in horse shoes! . I’m full of ideas, and totally motivated — thank you so much to everyone who supported and encouraged me on this path so far! You are my tribe!

Hello beautiful world! I just came back from a really nice morning ride in the sunshine, and I revisited these cute foals! They’re only a few days old, and now that I sketched them, I see them with different eyes! . Have you also made that experience — once you sketched something, or someone, you suddenly seem to have a deeper understanding of them! In these foals, for example, I was really interested in their proportions — the long legs, the still skinny body, the little tail, .... . Once I got home, I played with colours again, and this is what I was left with — any comments? I’d love to hear your thoughts x . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #icelandichorse #icelandicfoal #icelandichorsesofinstagram #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/CONitxtngi0/?igshid=15s3uzt9xy2rj

[andreapricedesign]

Another colour way, and also I tried another way of sketching the foals! This time I used a 5B pencil versus the ink in the previous print! I think I like this one better — what do you think? Pencil or ink? . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #icelandichorse #icekandichorses #icelandicfoal #createcollections #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COLB3zXngU1/?igshid=h8ydvbnzts30

Hello beautiful world! My happy mini collection is steadily growing! . I’m somehow really flowing and floating along with the process — it seems to come with ease, even though still decisions to make! . I find deciding on colours is the hardest! I choose one colour kind of spontaneously, and begin to build my motifs, and when the whole pattern is built, I realise that, for example, I don’t like the background colour!! But since I based the other motifs around that specific colour, I then have to go back and step by step re-colour all my motifs! . I know you might say, I could have used the recolour art tool, but that only works if you separated your colours before! For this print initially I only used three colours in total, a dark brown for all my outlines, but also for some of the flowers! In order to change It in just a few places, I had to enter isolation mode for all my grouped items! It took a long while, but now I’m kind of happy with the colours! . What do you think? Working together with the other patterns of the collection so far? Please don’t be shy — let me know your thoughts! It helps a lot to hear your feedback!

Hello beautiful world! My mini collection of Icelandic horses is growing! For these foals I only used a very limited colour palette — I added the purple to give it a dash of extra colour, but it would also work with only 2 colours! What do you think? Does it need the purple, or not?!! Many thanks for any feedback, it helps a lot!

[andreapricedesign]

Another idea for my mini collection on Icelandic horses — this time I actually only used the fill from my sketch and discarded the actual outline! I really like the “messy” feel that created, especially when using the same motif again and again! . What do you think? Too monotonous? Or just enough variation from changing the colours of the horses? I’d love to hear what you think! . Thank you, as always! Your feedback really guides me along this (still totally new) path x . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COIcotxnly5/?igshid=1oa2qxrepl5zi

My Icelandic horse pattern in a second colour way — and I also repaired that little “glitch” in the repeat ;) Now it’s seamless as I should be (did you spot the mistake I made?)!! . . . #immersion2021 #immersionstudent2021 #bonniechristineimmersion2021 #surfacepatterndesign #patterndesign #createcollections #icelandichorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram #sketchbook #sketchbookartist #illustration #illustrationartist #andreapricedesign #identityisfluid https://www.instagram.com/p/COIJIO-nOEg/?igshid=17oih2j00g2b8
