In this intro course to messy watercolors in Procreate, you’ll learn how to replicate traditional messy watercolor digitally and then we’ll add on skills, techniques and methods as the course progresses to capitalize on all of the advantages we have of painting digitally. Everything is step-by-step, with the why's and how's described. You’ll be able to follow along even if you’ve never painted with watercolors before.

On top of having no mess when you’re painting, we have many other advantages, too. Like the two tap undo to make mistakes literally disappear, layering elements, so you can adjust one part of your painting without affecting nearby elements, recoloring on the fly, using saturation and vibrancies not possible with traditional pigments and another little thing that’s a really big thing…blend modes. Or the ability to affect how colors blend with the colors underneath them.

All of these combined allow us to have limitless control over an otherwise difficult medium. With 31 brushes included with your enrollment, you have everything you need to paint 2 delicious eye candy watercolor pieces and you’ll be prepared to paint any subject you’d like in the future.

So stop worrying about having the right supplies, the time it’ll take to clean up or the headache of scanning your artwork. In Intro to Messy Watercolors in Procreate, you have all the supplies you need at the tap of a stylus, clean up consists of tapping your lock button and you’re already in the format you need to print your work.
