In my new series of intuitive art prompts that I’m calling Create with Intuition, I’ll be providing two art prompts every month – an intuitive prompt in the form of a word or phrase to explore, and a visual prompt. Intuitive Prompt: “Safe Place” Contemplate this phrase for a few minutes before starting. When you […]
When creating intuitive, abstract art from scratch, it can be hard to know where to start. If you’re not going to create a representation of an actual, real life *thing*, then what are you painting exactly? This is why abstract art can be so hard, because sometimes you have to look beyond the more obvious, […]
Today, I wanted to show you how to do 12 different kinds of greenery with my Dual Color brushes for Procreate, which enable you to paint with two colors in the same stroke digitally. You can also use these same techniques for flower petals, and they are only a few of the very many different […]
Today I wanted to take you along with me while creating a very messy digital mixed media collage on a dark background. We will experiment with adding bits of paper, stitching, doodles and paint using my Mixed Media brush set for Procreate. Canvas Dimensions: 10 x 8″ at 300 DPI Set the background color Go […]
I’ve noticed a decor trend where people will hang dried flowers upside down, attached end to end and hanging in lines, so that they are looking kind of like a curtain. I really like how this looks so I wanted to try out the concept with my new pressed flower brushes, and at the same […]
Today, we are adding pressed flowers as embellishments to a letter in the Procreate app. This is not a plant that would grow anywhere in nature, but instead we are building it up as a collage – I like to imagine that I have a box of pressed flowers next to me and I’m choosing […]
I’ve made a new brush set! These brushes were made from real flowers, personally collected and purchased from across England and Wales for the past several years, carefully pressed and then scanned at high resolution. Including a combination of both stamps and dynamic brushes which respond to pressure and direction for a unique result every […]
This video was requested by Deb from the community – a wispy abstract butterfly made from digital acrylic pour painting and lined with messy black ink. I tried a few different versions and ultimately decided to trace a butterfly outline from an image from unsplash, to use as a template. Then I filled the “wings” […]
Today I wanted to explore a question that I get a lot – the difference between alpha lock and clipping mask in the Procreate digital art app, and how to do each one. The functionality is similar, but there are pros and cons to consider. Alpha Lock Apply alpha lock to a layer by swiping […]
Today I will be showing how to draw a very simple, lush green hillside scene in Procreate including a tree and lots of grasses and ferns, to demonstrate more ways to use my new Greenery brush set for Procreate, and hopefully help to spark some ideas for how to use them in your artwork. We […]
Today’s tutorial is a very quick and easy wreath with a focal point on one side. In my opinion, a wreath is beautiful no matter what season and can be very versatile and used with lots of different types of greenery. We will cover how to create each element of greenery in a new layer, […]
I’ve made a new brush set! This one has been years in the making. These brushes are made from real plants, personally collected from across England and Wales, carefully pressed and then scanned at high resolution. Amazingly, the brushes are NOT stamps – they dynamically respond to pressure and direction for aunique result every time. […]
Today I wanted to do a very simple and colorful digital alcohol ink piece in Procreate that includes a lot of metallics and very cheerful colors, perfect for June! Canvas Dimensions: 3000×2000 pixels at 300 DPI I would love to see what you come up with! You’re very welcome to tag me on Instagram @alainajensen, […]
In today’s tutorial, we will create an abstract digital collage landscape. First we will use a photo from Unsplash to find the basic shapes and colors of the landscape, and then take it off the rails by using paper textures, ephemera stamps, stitching and paint to create a very fanciful and abstract mixed media landscape […]
