Glitter and Gold Infused Abstract Art in Procreate or Photoshop

What You Will Learn?

• Ah... gold. The one color that compliments every other color perfectly. I’ve been seeing more and more people incorporate gold into abstract paintings in interior design and really all sorts of art, including greeting cards and lettering layouts. Gold is the finish to add a prestige touch to any design..
• I have developed a technique in both Photoshop and Procreate that allows me to apply gold to any part of the artwork I want. In Glitter and Gold Infused Abstract Art in Procreate or Photoshop, the gold accents I infuse into my artworks combine perfectly with so many designs. Gold is just that icing on the cake; that classy touch. Gold just works so well with all colors!.
• It is simply magnificent that we can create this truly spectacular artwork, and that we can do it increasingly precisely with our digital tools! This class is for anyone wanting to try gold accents on art for the first time on the iPad. It is geared towards beginners, and up to intermediate learners, looking to design a collection, to increase their Print-On-Demand offerings, or for anyone interested in exploring abstract art purely for fun and personal use. Don’t have Procreate? Many of the techniques are totally do-able in Adobe Photoshop, Affinity, or Fresco! I talk you through the essentials to consider when planning and you can watch me throughout the process of creating the clipping masks necessary for adding the gold in either Procreate or Photoshop..
• In this class, you will learn how to use the Procreate interface, and plan a composition, adding a gold leaf look, adding glitter, clipping masks, gold foil in Procreate, glitter and foil in Photoshop, brushes in Procreate, curves in Procreate, settings in Procreate, Procreate layers, the Procreate gallery, organizing brushes in Procreate, workflow best practices, finding free assets, and much more..
