I’m putting together a simple, one time class on
how to use Procreate to improve your paintings.
The main thing I use it for is experimenting with
making changes while paintings are in progress.
Here’s an example of how I use it:
12 x 12 oil
(A Work in Progress)
I began by putting the image in Procreate to simplify the shapes
and get a quick feel for how the colors interact.
Here is my first lay in of shapes.
I felt like there were too many shapes breaking up the composition,
so I put it back into Procreate.
I covered the top section with green, changed the color of the sky,
and muted the contrast in the foreground shapes….
added a few details on the barn
Then I felt confident making those changes.
Using Procreate to make adjustments during the painting process
saves you so much time and anxiety.
Not to mention wasted paint.
And the possibilties are endless!
I’ll keep you posted on where this one goes.
It needs something.
