Fantasy Garden Watercolour Abstract in Procreate using Custom Brushes with 20 Brushes Included

What You Will Learn?

• I haven’t had this much fun with a class project for ages! In this class, Fantasy Garden Watercolour Abstracts, you will learn a step-by-step approach to painting a fantasy landscape, beginning with creating the document and adding a sumptuous watercolour for a background. Once that is done, we will paint our fantastical forest or garden elements, and I will show you many ways to make these more interesting. We will utilize the skill of creating custom brushes as well, for tree or plant elements, and then we will use texture to add plenty of depth and detail..
• My goal for you is that you will learn to see space like an artist, conceptualizing from the real world to a whimsical or fantasy world. Creating depth is a challenge we will tackle head-on, and you will get tons of advice as we work our way through the lessons. This will be accomplished by practicing and learning different techniques like brush-making, use of alpha lock, hue and saturation adjustments, drawing assist, layer blending modes, shading and texturing and finally, adding fine detail..
• The objective is for you to just let go and explore your creativity and imagination, and to just enjoy learning new ways of painting! I know I have!.
• This new class, Fantasy Garden Watercolour Abstracts, will show you some of my illustration and painting routines, and ways to use brushes with wild abandon. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a full fantasy landscape, with a fantastic realistic watercolour background. The star of the show is definitely creating and using brushes to add much depth and dimension to the paint projects you do in Procreate..
• In this class I’ll walk you through:.
• If you’re an aspiring illustrator with a good basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps with no issues. This class will benefit anyone who wishes to have fun and explore new techniques. If you get the chance, take my other Procreate brush creation classes, including Watercolour Floral Abstracts with Procreate and Simple Brushes in Procreate for Quick Compositions. Between all my Procreate classes, you will learn all there is to know about Procreate brush customization..
• The key concepts I will include:.
• Intro to Easy Watercolour Seamless Patterns in Procreate using Brushes.
• This short intro will give you an overview of the class..
• Lesson 1: Inspiration and Artists.
• In this lesson, I will show you the objectives for class and explain the techniques I will use throughout the class. We will look at artists Joel Nakamura, Lauren Lewchuk, Yellena James, and more..
• Lesson 2: Brushes and Document Set-Up.
• In this lesson, I will show you the structure of the document and explain how the blending modes work to add the texture. We prepare for the next lesson by laying down color that will eventually become our watercolour background..
• Lesson 3: Creating the Watercolour Background .
• In this lesson, we will take what we created in the previous lesson and fully develop it for use as a background. In so doing, you will learn about my favorite DeloresArt Blenders, as well as a few other brushes. The focus is on techniques for creating foreground, middle ground and background in an interesting way..
• Lesson 4: Plant Construction Tips.
• This is the lesson in which I teach you about creating the individual plant elements. We will use numerous techniques including drawing assist to help us make a perfect radial repeat for one of the elements. I also talk about layering and proper use of Procreate layers, as well as using hue and saturation to make adjustments..
• Lesson 5: Effects and Using Alpha Lock.
• In this lesson, we start getting to the nitty gritty of the final artwork. You will see me use several different techniques to add interest and detail. I show you a brush I have created, and I explain the settings. Throughout the process you learn much more about brushes in general and I explain how you can add a lot of depth with blending modes..
• Lesson 6: Final Pattern Testing and Correcting.
• At this stage, we pull our layout together, and I will correct the small details that make it work. I change the appearance of many of the motifs and make many other small adjustments. We take a quick look at color adjustments and use hue and saturation as well as blending modes. We review brush making to make alternate brushes. This will show you just how versatile the technique can be, and how valuable experimentation can be in the development of your composition..
• Lesson 7: Layering for Interest.
• I use the techniques I observed from the work of Lauren Lewchuk to add even more detail with a brush that I show you how to adjust. Even the simplest brushes can be used for these techniques..
• Lesson 8: Finessing the Layout.
