Useful resources

On this page, I share some information on how to start on Islamic geometric patterns. I also provide links to tools I use to create my artwork and in my workshops.

You will also find links to useful videos to teach you how to draw and paint Islamic geometric art.

I include some links to Amazon where you can find some of the tools I use and like. By clicking on these links, Amazon will pay me a small commission if you make qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
