Today we are creating another digital fluid art piece with my Acrylic Pour brushes for Procreate, which emulates the “dirty pour” technique used in analogue acrylic pour paintings. With this technique, after the canvas is prepped with white paint, several fluid acrylic colors are added to the same cup and then poured artistically onto the canvas. This […]

Today we are creating a digital acrylic pour painting in Procreate, which looks a bit like a flower! When I started out I did not intend for it to be a flower but that is how it turned out, with wispy tendrils for petals and a gold metallic center, so I just went with it. […]

Today, we’re going to do something new – moving away from Procreate for the time being to explore a few of the filters available in a different app called iColorama. I am not affiliated with this app, but it’s something that I’ve noticed many members of our community experimenting with.  One of the main appeals of iColorama is the […]

In today’s tutorial, we’re creating a mandala in Procreate! This piece was inspired by Jane Proctor, a member of our Facebook community. Jane’s artwork is simply marvelous! Please check out her Instagram profile. Lately, she’s been creating these amazing mandalas with iridescent centers and gold trim. I will be using my Gold Rush brushes for the outline and my Iridescent brushes for the […]

Today’s tutorial is something quite different than what I normally do. I am bringing you a quick tip for editing a photo in Procreate! Have you ever taken the most perfect photo, but there is a person or object in the background that low-key ruins the whole thing? A “fly in the ointment,” so to […]

Today I’m very excited to bring you this much requested tutorial – an impressionist digital painting style influenced by Vincent Van Gogh. I’ve been wanting to create a “Starry Night” inspired video since I released my Painterly brushes, but I’ve put it off because I’ve not been 100% happy with my technique. Here is where […]

In today’s tutorial, we will make a mother of pearl abalone shell texture. Abalone shells are quite iridescent, usually blue and green with plenty of sparkles and gorgeous texture, lines and squiggles. We will be using the Liquify tool to re-create those lines and ruffles that look like a shell texture.  I will show how […]

In last week’s Opal […]
