Overview

DIGITAL PAINTING IN PROCREATE: WATERCOLOR LEAVES

Watercolor leaves and wreaths motifs are a timeless asset in graphic design. The delicate illustrated motifs add a handmade touch to everything from illustrations to stationery and fabric. In this class, I am going to show you how to create digital watercolor leaves and wreaths in Procreate and make them ready for use as motifs in your designs.

You will learn:

  • Basic techniques for using digital watercolor brushes.
  • How to create two different styles of leaves and twigs
  • Several techniques on how to adjust your colors to give that traditional watercolor look to your motifs.
  • How to use the symmetry tools in Procreate to construct wreaths.
  • How to cut out your watercolor leaves to create stand alone clipart with a transparent background so they are ready for use as graphic assets.

To simplify the design process, I have created the following class resources I would like to share as a free download that you can access from the class resources tab:.

  • A Procreate canvas with watercolor textured paper
  • A custom watercolor brush set
  • A Procreate color palette.
  • Pinterest board for inspiration. https://www.pinterest.com.au/scill77/botanical-ideas/

  All you will need to take this class is your iPad and stylus. So, if you have some time to learn a few new skills that that will simplify and level up your watercolor workflow in Procreate, join me in class.
