Color Recipes: Plain Weave

Did you know that you can do an infinite number of cool things with just a few basic “color recipes”?

When we say “recipe,” we don’t mean rigid formulas, but foundational patterns as flexible as a chef’s recipe for soup stock – a solid, simple base that can be modified in millions of ways to create your own beautiful, unique designs.

In this class, we’re going to explore some of these foundational patterns. You’ll learn some “recipes” for color that will enable you to create interesting and beautiful designs in even the simplest of stripe patterns. 

We’ll also show you how those basic recipes can be combined with each other to create endless options.
