How to create a pattern with watercolor/paint splash effect in Illustrator?

[pernillegraphic]

I have fallen in love with the pattern on the orange bowl, and is in doubt on how to create it. And it is primarily  the round shapes with paint/watercolor textures that I have a little difficulties on getting started on. The pattern has to be scalable, so it will fit both big and small posters. Hope anyone has some suggestions or maybe know some guides that will get me started. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any luck searching myself.

i begun my pattern making work after watching Von Glitschka. After watching his course i understood how to make them and apply them on to my work. I would recommend you watch it so you can know how they are made, tips and issues/how to solve them

Here is his course on it:

Nigel French also has a course on it, i have not watched that one

Paint these in analog, scan the artwork and then trace it in black and white? Then add some color to it in Illustrator?

Or work with high quality brushes, such as: https://www.retrosupply.co/collections/von-glitschka/products/dragstrip-2-vector-brush-pack

There are some sites like freepik.com where you can get vectors of paint. Download the file, extract it, and open it. Then you can drag one (if there are multiple selections) to the Brushes and make an art brush out of it.

You make a similar effect with preset vector art brushes in Adobe Animate.

Another option is to make your own brush with the mobile app Capture CC Adobe Capture CC | Edit photos, shapes to vectors and graphics
