How to build on the basics and delight with detail

My 4 year old daughter and I have been making pancakes lately. A LOT of pancakes (starting to think it’s mostly a ploy for all-you-can-dip syrup at this point). Because she’s 4, we started out by simply following the recipe: pour the mix in, stir in the water until the batter is just right, then head to the stove. Once making pancakes each day became a thing, keeping it basic got a little…yawn after awhile.

Spoiler: anyone who freehands beautiful line art florals practiced them by tracing or copying them at some point in time. Instead of just tracing them this week with one line, we’ll be pulling a section of florals from an existing bouquet, customize it to fit our needs, then bring the line drawing to life by adding some digital watercolor with pretty blends to finish it off. Although it starts with a basic trace, it finishes with a completely original piece of work you can use for any occasion. ✨

Hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! This week, I had planned to teach one macrame hanging planter, but once I did one, I did another…and then another, so you’re getting 3 of them today 😉 These are all drawn with my free monoweight brush and I put in some simple watercolor plant doodles with this brush set and lettering with this set, but please feel free to create any style of plant or flowers you’d like! This tutorial is a little more advanced, so if the pace is too quick, check out some of my other tutorials first. I can’t wait to see what you do with these – there are a bunch of beginner-friendly flower + plant tutorials in this playlist if you’d like some extra practice!

While my heart will always be tied especially close to traditional art supplies, I love the possibilities Procreate now provides. I love being able to experiment with new brushes and paint in a way that can feel so realistic…digitally! I have a bonus section of my Watercolor Lettering in Procreate course that goes over the basics of watercolor leaves and florals in Procreate. If you haven’t checked the course out yet, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek this week with a winter watercolor bouquet in Procreate! I hope this will inspire you to create your own versions and play around with either the default water brushes or this set – read on to see how!

I wanted to try something new this week! I thought it would be fun to show how to create something analog/traditionally, then how to recreate that same artwork in Procreate. Two tutorials in one 😉 For this video, we’ll create watercolor block lettering with some traditional methods, then we’ll move into Procreate after. Read on for the full tutorial!
