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.

I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day arrive without some watercolor florals! I was a little hesitant to share my sketching process for these 🫣, but I wanted you to see that a sketch does not need to be a beautiful thing to lead to a beautiful thing… especially in this style.

This tutorial can be adjusted to fit any occasion throughout the year – just change up the colors for a completely different feel! You can also control how much messiness you’d like to inject by increasing or reducing the wash and splatter elements at the end. Other than that, just let the brushes + stamps do the rest of the work for you 😉

The other night I felt like Procreate playing – no set plan in mind, I just wanted to make something pretty with the messy watercolor brushes. I haven’t shared a Procreate abstract art tutorial (until today!), so I was extra excited when this messy watercolor background came together organically + quickly!

In the video, you’ll see how easy it is to make any kind of abstract watercolor backgrounds with the brushes, but what I’m *most* excited about is one of the biggest procreate tips I’ve shared to date. You know how Procreate crops off any artwork that goes beyond the edges of your canvas? Well, I’ve got a workaround that you’ll want to use + remember! 😉

What better way to start a new year than with some fresh winter watercolor florals?! This week, we’re creating border elements and saving lots of time by reusing the main elements, but also painting in some one-off foliage to increase variety. There’s a lot of layer practice in this one, so if you’re brand new to Procreate, your layering knowledge will be solid after following along 😉

I realized I haven’t made a tutorial on custom brushes in awhile and especially since Procreate has added so many new options to making them. In the spirit of springtime (my favorite season), this week I’m sharing how to create a custom watercolor floral scatter brush *and* 3 quick ideas on how you can use it after it’s made!

Spence and I love taking morning walks on our country road and the sides of the road have recently become covered with different wildflowers! I’ve been so inspired by these walks, wondering what I’ll spot next. When thinking about this week’s tutorial, I couldn’t get them off my mind, so today I have a messy spring wildflower bouquet for you! I grabbed a source photo as a base and in the video, you’ll see how easy it is to manipulate that base and make something original from it, messy details and all 😉

Happy Tuesday! We had a few 70*F weather days in February here, so springtime has been on my mind a lot lately. In the spirit of the upcoming season (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere), I’ve got a spring themed sales tag this week for you! You can use this for any kind of promo throughout the year, or change up the messaging to create a fun gift tag for any personal occasion, too!
