Procreate and Paint: Create a Townscape

47:59
Description
This class combines all the beauty and randomness of real acrylic paint with digital art, using Procreate on the iPad to create two townscapes, loosely based on a place of your choice.
We'll start messy and wild, using paint on paper with all sorts of techniques to make wonderful textured abstract backgrounds. We will create beautiful, spontaneous and varied surfaces by painting, smearing, splashing, dragging, dabbing, scratching and generally making a glorious mess.
Then we’ll bring that into Procreate.
We'll look closely at the background paintings, and find ways to discover and pull out houses and buildings to base our town on.
Then we will add all the fun little details to really bring our painting alive.
I love to combine real art materials with Procreate. The element of chance and randomness at the beginning avoids overthinking and blank page paralysis and helps to spark creativity and find new ways of looking and discovering inspiration through process.
When we’ve finished you’ll be able to use this method as a starting point to discover all sorts of inspiration for your own original and imaginative artwork.
As always, I'll share plenty of my tips and tricks as we go.
This class is suitable for all levels.

Instructor's Courses
I am an artist and designer of fun things living in Kent, England.
I studied Creative Visual Art and 3D Design at the University of Greenwich and loved every minute of it.
My illustrations are on many products from prints to suitcases and everything in between.
I love drawing and painting on my iPad as well as using traditional media, particularly watercolour.
If anything stays still long enough, I will draw on it.
Quirky animals, dreamy landscapes and watercolor florals are my speciality.
