Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

I love painting landscapes, both in acrylics on canvas, and also these days in Procreate on my iPad. 

In this class I’ll be taking you step by step through my digital process as I demonstrate two landscape paintings with very different moods.

We will be covering all sorts of things in the class including:

  • Inspiration
  • Simple composition
  • Subject matter
  • Tricks for giving the illusion of depth to landscapes
  • Colour palettes
  • Brush palettes
  • Alpha lock
  • Clipping masks
  • And of course, lots of other tips and tricks for using Procreate

When you have finished the class you will be able to use these methods to create your own original landscape paintings.

Do feel free to share your work on social media with the hashtag #nicsquirrellskillshare. I do share some of them in my Instagram Stories.

Nice reviews are always very welcome, your feedback makes a difference and means a lot to me.   :)

This class is suitable for all levels.
