Overview
  • I love watercolor paint and I love Procreate in equal measures.

    So why not smoosh them together and make a set of Procreate brushes using real watercolour as a starting point.

    In this class I’ll show you how.

    We will start by making a wonderful painty mess using watercolor.

    Then we will scan or photograph our marks to get them off the paper and into Procreate.

    We will enhance the images and use them as a basis for our brushes.

    We’ll be making lots of brushes including:

    • stamp brushes
    • texture brushes
    • variable width and detail brushes
    • random splatter brushes
    • textured blender brushes

    Then I’ll show you how I use them, and go through two full painting demonstrations.

    Of course, there'll be lots of my tips and tricks for using Procreate too.

    When you have finished the class you will have a library of gorgeous brushes to use in your artwork, and a solid basis for exploring further.

    This class is suitable for all levels.
