The project for this class will be to lay in your colours and use them as a mask to paint your mandala. Use the techniques in this class to either work on the mandala provided in the attachments or to work on one of your own designs. You can post your progress as you go, and be sure to share your final result.

You will need:

Ipad. I use an ipad pro, but any ipad with IOS 10.0 will work great.
Procreate App. This is available in the itunes app store here. It is a paid app, however it is not costly and is about the price of an art pen. Well worth it for the tools it contains.
The attached image of my Mandala Scanned Art. I have provided this for you and you will find it to the right of this description. If you decide to use your own design, be sure it is a black and white scan, as this will work best.
I have provided a link so you can import an assortment of brushes that I use in my demonstrations. These are brushes I have made to use in Procreate and you can download them from the link below. I will walk you through how to import them in the first lesson.
Optional is the Apple Pencil. Works with the Ipad Pro and is wonderful for detailed work. However any simple inexpensive stylus will work great and your finger does an awesome job as well and is always right by your side! I used my finger for years and still do, as sometimes it works better when you want to get the feel for what you are doing. It is also a joy to use when painting your work.

You can access the brushes from this link

Finally if you have any questions about the app itself or want to learn more Procreate has a great support community you can access here and they have alot of nice free brushes from members to download in the forum.

They also have a free user manual you can download from their site as well. I saved mine into my ibooks so I can refer back to it whenever I want. Procreate is always adding great new things and is a fun and exciting place to be on the IPAD.

Have fun with this class and share your progress as you go. I am looking forward to seeing your projects in the project section.
