✨ Update Note – September 2025: Both Procreate and Adobe Fresco have recently updated their brush libraries with improved organization and exciting new features. While only one lesson in this class is affected visually (Brush Library Overview), the methods you'll learn here still apply beautifully. An updated version of that lesson is in the works! 
Curate Your Favorite Brushes Without the Overwhelm
This class teaches you how to quickly curate a set of favorite digital brushes in Adobe Fresco by completing creative experiments and reflecting on your personal preferences. You'll walk away with a clearer sense of your style—and a smoother way to start making art.
