Notes & Inspiration
This collection was created to evoke a simple and fun vibe. The cherries were all hand painted with watercolor and often multiple mediums were used to give more texture and dimension to the illustrations. The leaves are an item I often draw in my sketchbook and using some granulating watercolors gave these leaves some texture that I really liked. There are two hero patterns in this series, one is more involved and one is really simple and they compliment each other. Taking the leaves and making a ditsy was fun too. I think they have a heart shape so that was just a bonus.

Collection Description

The Prairie Cherry Collection captures the essence of summer's bounty through a series of hand-painted watercolor and mixed media patterns that celebrate nature's sweetest offerings. This delightful collection transforms original handmade artwork into a cohesive series of designs that radiate warmth, joy, and organic beauty.

At the heart of this collection are luscious cherry motifs rendered in rich watercolor techniques, showcasing plump red berries with delicate stems and leaves that seem to dance across soft pink backgrounds. The organic brushwork and fluid watercolor washes create an authentically handcrafted feel that brings artisanal charm to any project.

Complementing the hero cherry patterns are coordinating botanical elements including scattered florals, flowing leaves, and playful geometric supports that work harmoniously together.

The color palette draws inspiration from a summer orchard, featuring vibrant coral-pinks, fresh sage greens, deep cherry reds, and soft cream backgrounds. Purple accents add unexpected sophistication while maintaining the collection's cheerful, approachable aesthetic. The mixed media approach combines traditional watercolor techniques with contemporary digital finishing, resulting in patterns that feel both timeless and thoroughly modern.

Each design showcases the beautiful imperfections and organic variations that only hand-painted artwork can achieve, from subtle color bleeds to natural brush textures that add depth and authenticity. The collection's versatility lies in its ability to work both as statement pieces and subtle supporting patterns.
