Surface Pattern Design Beginner Cucumber Print

This project was born from something as simple as a cucumber. While I was watching the class, I was eating one and thought: “no excuses, let’s just go for it.”
I was inspired by the organic, repetitive shapes of the seeds and decided to explore a few different patterns based on that everyday observation.
The result is a series of designs that combine natural textures, rhythm, and spontaneity—born from that small moment of inspiration. I am so new at it all and i do mostly handpaintings so forgive my mistakes :)

I painted with watercolor to capture the soft forms and natural transparencies that reminded me of cucumber seeds. Then I scanned the paintings and worked digitally in Photoshop, adjusting colors and repeating shapes to create various patterns.
Finally, I used Contrado to visualize how my designs could look applied to textiles.
I’m still waiting for the physical samples, but here’s a look at my process and the digital results so far.

I made 3 because i was feeling very playful :)
