Cyanotypes - From Botanical Sunprint to Repeating Pattern in Procreate

What You Will Learn?

• If you've ever wanted to create a beautiful repeating pattern in Procreate but are unsure about drawing digital motifs and/or prefer creating your artwork "the old fashioned way" - this class is for you!.
• We will get outside into nature and collect leaves and flowers to create our lovely sunprints. You can even take your kid along and share this wonderful experience of creating art directly from nature..
• We will then hop onto the computer, digitize our prints and turn our gorgeous flower motifs into repeating patterns using a foolproof and pixel-perfect method in Procreate..
• At the end of the class I will show you how create multiple colourways and how you can put your pattern onto a mockup to share your design on social media! Yay!.
• What you will learn in this class:.
• This class is perfect for you if you love nature and are excited about trying out new art techniques. Also if - like me - you are a mum and want to incorporate your kid into your art making and design process. Of course this goes for dads, too!.
• You can take this class as a complete beginner in both cyanotypes and Procreate as I will explain every step of the way. BUT - it is helpful to have a basic understanding of how Procreate works so I would recommed taking a beginner class in Procreate before you start with this class. There are tons of great Procreate beginner classes here on Skillshare and you will find some of my recommendations in the resources section..
• Materials:.
• You will need a cyanotype print kit (link is in the resources section), an Apple iPad, a stylus and the app "Procreate". Also some pressed leaves and flowers and a water container. A scanner is recommended to scan your prints but of course you can also take photos..
• In the resources section you will find a premade 8x8'' Procreate canvas for creating your pattern the easy way. You will also find a colour palette, a Procreate mockup which you can use to view and showcase your designs and a lot of helpful links to products and other Skillshare classes about Cyanotype Prints and Procreate..
• Hope to see you in class!.
