Garden Breeze

SURFACE DESIGN

The Garden Breeze collection includes many coordinated options. There are two main illustrations shown here consisting of a full floral arrangement in a watering can and a smaller arrangement version with the watering can flipped. Additional floral arrangements are available without the can, including the dark blue star flower tiles.

The floral gouache motifs were imported into Photoshop for added texture and details in places. The watering can was a mechanical drawing done in Illustrator and rendered in Photoshop. The basic model for the watering can was an airbrush illustration of a watering can I did some years ago; however, the detailed galvanized texture of the illustration had to be subdued when it was mapped to the can surfaces because the detail would have been too strong. Plus, I wanted some shimmer.

The floral patterns include a tossed version with a cyanotype-style version, two damask style versions, and a 2-way half-drop of the smaller watering can arrangement. A full color abstract texture with a cyanotype companion is included as well.

The main background is a multi-directional brushed gouache texture offered in two colors, along with four grungy striped patterns in four coordinated colors. Four soft patterns quietly sit by with their own brushed backgrounds, two multi-directional and two circular, where the watering can makes another appearance. In addition, there are three garden wall patterns; the pink floral wall is available with or without hardware. The steel hardware coordinates with the watering can. Star flower tiles and a few other options are also offered.
