Happy Tuesday! This week, I'm sharing my version of a watercolor honey bee in Procreate! In the tut, you'll learn how to freehand your sketch layer using Procreate's symmetry options, create extra depth in your watercolors
It’s Tuesday! This week, I walk you through my (beginner friendly!) process of creating a cute style watercolor carrot doodle entirely in Procreate. We start by establishing our sketch layer, then layer on color by adjusting
It’s Tuesday! This week we’re creating a wreath out of one of my favorite pieces of foliage: olive branches! In the video, we carry over the watercolor sketch style from last week, but this time we’re
It’s Tuesday! Time for another tutorial 😉 This week, we’re painting 3 watercolor cactus doodles in Procreate! If you caught this tutorial a few weeks ago, this is the cactus version 🙂 In the video, we create simple containers filled with an Indian fig cactus and two versions of a saguaro cactus. You can use any brushes you’d like, though the ones shown are my watercolor illustration brushes. As always,the color palette is free + also available in the Resource Library.
Happy Tuesday! This week, I have a sweet treat for you..macarons! I won’t lie, these def gave me cravings as I was painting, so beware (or have some handy ahead of time ;). In the video, we trace a reference photo to establish our sketch template, then use the photo loosely for painting in our midtones, highlights and shadows. We use several brushes from my watercolor illustration brush set to paint, smudge and add final details, like a watercolor paper texture, hand lettering and paint splatter. Pick up the free color palette and head to the full tut here!
Happy Tuesday! This week we’re drawing dimensional tulips in Procreate! We’ll start with a sketch template, fill our petals in with color, then utilize stackable clipping masks for our shadows and highlights (if you’ve taken my
It’s Tuesday! This week I have a summer treat: watercolor popsicles! Since Father’s Day is later this month, it can also double as an ecard, too! This is a little above beginner as far as skill
Another Tuesday, another tutorial! In case you missed it, I just released my newest class, Watercolor Florals in Procreate, yesterday! The course covers how to create a variety of different florals and today, I wanted to share one of the first lessons from the class – how to create watercolor floral doodles! You can use the brushes shown in the video or you can use your own brushes if you’d like to change up the style. Use these on stationery, social media or even create a logo out of them. They’re really fun (and easy) to make and you’ll be able to follow along, even if you’re opening Procreate for the very first time.
It’s Tuesday! I’ve got another fun floral project for you this week to celebrate spring and to take advantage of some of those lockdown hours. Today, we’re creating simple loose watercolor florals, all directly in Procreate. The free color palette is here and the brush we’re using is the Round Paintbrush for Illustration from my Procreate Watercolor Lettering set. This *is* a paid brush to get that watercolor feel, but if you’d like to change up the style, any brush with pressure sensitivity will also work with the full project! This is very beginner friendly, so if you’re new to Procreate or florals, you’ll be able to follow along easily 🙂
I remember sitting in my Color Theory 2 class at SCAD (12 years ago!) and we were given an assignment we had to use gouache for. ‘Gouache?’ I thought, “Can’t be that different from acrylics, can it?”
It was the first time I had ever heard of it, let alone had any knowledge of how to use it. Since sitting in that classroom that day, I learned that 1. yes, it is definitely different than acrylics and 2. it’s actually pretty amazing.
In this week’s tutorial, I’m taking you through gouache basics – how to mix colors, water ratios + what makes it so amazing to work with. Together, we’ll paint leafy gouache letters (or shapes!) that can be used for wall art, stationery or gifts! Read on to see it all!
In the US, Mother’s Day falls on May 12th this year. After giving birth to our daughter on December 28th, this will be my first Mother’s Day as a mom! I wanted to celebrate by creating artwork that can be used as a greeting card as well as wall art! In this week’s tutorial, I share my process on how to paint a watercolor floral initial. All you need is your favorite font, watercolors and some watercolor paper. No prior watercolor floral skills necessary! Read on to see how!
I got my hands on these watercolor brush pens a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to put them down! One of my new favorite ways to use them is by making colorful feathers and adding in details using gel pens. Since they blend with water so perfectly, there are so many ways to create colorful patterns and blends. In this week’s tutorial, I’m sharing my process for creating your own colorful feathers using watercolor brush pens. Read on for all the supplies + details!
