1. Intro: Welcome to this
Skillshare course. My name is Avraham and either
professional illustrator. In this class, we'll create this lovely bouquet of tubes
together in Procreate. I absolutely love the
look of watercolors, especially the
delicate colors and the unpredictable way
that they mix and blend together and Procreate lets us experiment and have fun without having to
clean up the mess. Afterwards. I book in this class down into
a series of small, easy to follow steps, starting from In
coloring and finishing with a wonderful way to
add a quote and a port. You can watch my entire
process and I'll tell you a bunch of tips and tricks
to get the best results. Additionally, when
you take this class, you'll get my custom
watercolor brush set and made these brushes to carefully mimic do with the
watercolors work. And as we go through the
stages of making our bouquet, osha and exactly
how to use them. You also get my watercolor
paper background. The watercolor
brushes by themselves give a wonderful
watercolor look, but provide the
background as well to add that extra
level of texture. This class is great for
beginners who want to learn more about painting
watercolors in Procreate by, also had numerous
techniques that morning as people would also find
useful for his classroom. The Procreate app. And I highly recommend
the Apple pencil with his pressure
sensitivity to get the maximum out of this
procreate brushes. If you're ready to start creating your
watercolor bouquet. Let's begin.
2. Download the Brushes, Canvas, and Colors: The first thing we're
going to need to do is open our watercolor canvas, which is 3 thousand by 4
thousand pixels at 300 DPI. And the way you will get that
is by going to the website, not the app version
of Skillshare and the resources section. And you can click
to download it. It will show up in
your file section, we called watercolor canvas. Click on it. It will import it into Procreate in the top
section, the top left. If you click on it, it'll open up just to understand
what's going on here. If you look at the layers, the top section is different textures that create the watercolor effect,
which is locked. So you can accidentally
do I think to that. And then the layer beneath
it is we're returning multiple layers for
our watercolor effect. And you'll also import
the brushes the same way. And that will create a folder
called AN watercolors. Over here it has four brushes. The first one is
the dry ink brush, which is basically
a Procreate brush by putting here for the ys. And then the other three brushes are brushes that I've created. The first tour we'll be using in this tutorial and the other one you can
play with as well. Also besides that,
we're going to import the pallet so we can
create our tulip bouquet. Once you have all
those resources in, we are ready to go.
3. Initial Sketch: The first thing we want
you to do is sketch out a rough outline of what our bouquet is
going to look like. And so for that,
we're going to go to the light brown color, the bouquet palette,
and under brushes, we're going to click on,
use the dry ink one. Pick a size that is reserved for you to
default that we have here, here 3%. It looks good for me. And what we're
gonna do is sketch out a rough idea of where our bouquet
is going to look like. I want to have it be basically two main
parts to her bouquet. There'll be the top area
where all the flowers are going to be and then a
bunch of it at the bottom. And then we're at
the handle, hold it. We're going to add full
to the paper here. It's going to come in like this. Like that. Imagining how the paper will curl
around the flowers. You can go erase. We don't need to draw in infinite and we
have some ties with oppose, convene, zoom in
and create some. I'm tulips. I always
find it helpful to look at reference pictures
to get an idea of how the shapes are
and the forms. Here are a few can look at using these for
making the tulips. Various variations
on tulip shapes. They'll look a little
bit different. Because in real life they
would look a little different. Also trying to make
sure that I draw them at slightly
different heights. Because in a real
bouquet they also would be staggered a little
bit like this. It looks small. Here. Let's
do one more over here. I could overlap
them if I wanted, but I think it looks better. I think it looks birth,
they're all separate. Last thing is where the
stems are going to be into that. I see. Based on where the
stems are, these shouldn't be facing up so much. So let's go into rings that, so we're gonna go and take these to rotate them just a tad. Now that we have
our basic outline, we're going to start just
trying to add into watercolors.
4. Drawing the Tulips: Now that we're ready to
start with a watercolor, the first thing to
add in a new layer, move it under our sketch layer
and change the opacity of the sketch there so it doesn't distract us
while we're painting. Let's also rename
this to say sketch. Wherever we wanted to change to our first color
of the bouquet, which will be this red. And under brushes
to our wet lender. Zoom in a little so we can
see what we're doing better. And I recommend getting a feel
for how the brushes work. The basic idea is if
you press lightly, there'll be a light color and the hard you press
it gets darker and also it starts to
create little rim. The edge. A little bit of a
watercolor effect layer. I have my brush around 10% here. We'll start off. So generally hard pressing because
I liked that, that rim and every slot
from a person a little bit later to simulate different variations
of water the coming. Also, I want to press
a little bit harder at the bottom because that's where the sheet is going to be
overlapping a little bit. See here a little
between the two petals. Because that will create
this natural line between the two which give
definition of width petals. This is a little bit smaller, so not change this
profession size. It's a little challenging,
but just go into it anyway. I'll try and push as hard as
we can. Answer the borders. Here at the top.
I'm going to add a second brushstroke
is going to increase the darkness of broad brush. And I can blend out this brush plans very nicely,
which I like a lot. Okay, So first Pell behind
them when we get a little bit smaller because I want
to make it darker. Again, take a drug
if the press harder. I started with smaller. Let's go add another stroke. More definition to make
the petals stand out. Doesn't look like it's stand out from the pedals behind it. We'll talk a little bit darker to pressing gently will
smudge layer beneath it. We can see how it looks
between the first kids there. We're going to add in another tool to
make that also read. Go back to our size 9%. Again, don't worry about the exact petal because every child is unique
and different, so little harder here,
a little better. There are some
interesting looks. Very natural, beautiful. Heart the bottom
little bit later at various pressure but mostly harder pressure at the bottom and a more later
pressure towards the top. I went to add in a
little extra darkness over with another brush, I got another brushstroke.
How are we doing here? Let's add one more red one. Press hard for the bottom later
here and then dark again. You don't want to
do it very extreme. You'll get a feel for us
to use the brush more. How much you want to change
your pressure of lights and darks to create the
variation of color. Actually it's called
tenth molar again. The approach also
works very well with blending itself liquid you put, lay down like this and I smoked paint and then I
can just blend it. You can also use the blend tool. And you said that the same blending option,
the same brush. And then you can put in-between things like that
as well, the same way. Let's go in. Catalog this brush for this last petal of
the tulip over here. It looks, it looks very nice. Now we'll go to another color. We can choose our yellows. We can add in two yellows. In this I had two yellows
and two purples. Lilac. It looks like over here. Same idea, pressing
hard to just have fun. Again. The nice thing about watercolor is very forgiving.
Likely see this here. That's really dark. So I'm just going to
take my dislodge tool. Just smudge it out like that. Over here. Since I'm painting in fresh, I want to just have a
little touch at the edges. That's how much of an
overlap. And I'll use the smudge tool to cover up those two parts intersect for the brush
size a little bit. And here, even though I'm doing the same hard generally hard pressing, a little bit lighter
pressing every so often. I'm not seeing the
same difference with the yellow petals, like they wouldn't
have red petals. So I have a feeling
it has to do with just the quality of the color. But it really there
is a change going on, just doesn't seem
as your parents. Next one over here. Pressing
hard about the other, drill. At the top. A little bit of variation. Little harder on
the edge over here. The petals. Now let's go on to our last
color for it looks, which is this lilac color. Again, checking
size of the brush. The larger size. A little bit later. One of the attributes I like so much about this
watercolor brushes, just how much you can blend. It doesn't matter if it's the same stroke you're
blending with, or even replay, lay
down multiple strokes. It'll still be able to
blend very nicely and smoothly with all the layers
and colors underneath it, which is just really, really special and I just
love how that works. You actually layers
darkness here. Last thing over here. Just nice and easy to have fun. Nothing so exactly about this, the whole beauty of watercolor. I really, I really loved
the look of watercolor. It's such a, it's the
unpredictability look a bit in precision. It's
just really nice. Organic about watercolors. Smaller petal, reduce
the size a little bit. Press hard over here. Still get that edge. Here we have our
different tulips and we're good to go with this.
5. Tulips: Advanced Technique: So here we have our
different tulips. If you want to feel
it a little bit more advanced in your
appropriate skills, or just want to try something since you can always undo it. We can now go to our
dry watercolor brush. Go back to our yellow color. And what we're going to
do now is add in like yellow streaks onto
the petals of the top. It's amazingly beautiful and
see how it comes up again. Just have fun with it
and see how it goes. You might need to
experiment a little bit. But the idea is, we're
going to do a little flick, push a little bit wider, small slicks to create this
yellow color at the bottom. And then using our smudge tool and the same watercolor brush, the dry brush, we're going to do some flips
with it as well. I'm doing curving along the
shape of the tulip itself. See how that looks
really amazing. So we're going to add one
here and we'll do one more. We'll leave the third one
just as is like that. As much as you feel, feel
it's too much yellow, you can pull back with the
red and pull into it like that. Here we are. Looking like that.
6. Stems and Inside of Bouquet: The next step we're going
to add in new green stems. For that, we're going
to just switch to our dark green color here and go back to
the wet blender. We make this relatively small. Follow along the lines
we've sketched up here. We could stay on the same layer. I'm just going to press hard and then loosen up as I go down. And over here also, I want to show the green and
add this to some degree. If you want the green above
the bottom of the tube. One. This line as well. I'm not exactly following the sketch here because
I see that based on how I like to sing a little
bit more. We'll do that. First actually pressing
hard and loosening up later, later, later. And this one also
slightly bigger. Continue to work
on the underside of the intercellular. Pressing few times to make
it a little darker here. Blend it in. This one. I think it was going to
leave as Hotel small, small hit them all look exactly the same because
that's not reality. Small here. This
one larger again. Let's see how that looks now. Pretty good. Add in some
leaves. For leaves. There's still a wetland
or a larger brush here. I have it. Let's see, 11%. Press down hard and then lift
up as moving up swatches, press hard with the brush. Press hard, and then lift up section, make it
a little bigger. Few doesn't even have to be connected to
where the flower is. More vegetal hint too actually, when we first went
higher, don't want to be exactly parallel. Started actually
just in the middle. How is that looking at? I
don't want to be overpowering all these don't weeks or a few hints video that
we have leaves here. Now that we have all
these leaves and stems, I want to add in just general background green to fill in. Unite all these pieces together. We're gonna make a new layer. Move it underneath, switch
to our lighter green color. And for our web blender, we want to add a very
soft green color. So I'm making the brush very large. Went onto presto hard. I will still cover a large
area to compare them. This 70% pressing
a little bit hard. But again, I don't
want to obscure or take away from our focus, which of course, these
beautiful flowers. So I'm pressing here, we'll fix up anything
goes over the edges. Liter. Nice color here. You again that this is working appropriately or
different layers. And we can touch things up as much as we'd like
to make it what we want. Lever, adding colors, pressing
gentle, not too hard. I'm going to add a little
bit more over here. Similarly, how sometimes the
water is not even when you put down where colors
white around here, it looks like we purposely
avoided anything. We have this, let's
go in Eraser tool using the hardware splits switch actually to use brush set. Watercolors, I will go to wet blender and we're
going to erase with that. It's an eraser. This actually made
it a little smaller as we have more precision,
we can delete edges. Beautiful, strong colors, not diluted with a
green background. And we're thinking we do also
my truck or sketch layer. So you can really
see how was looking. Because we're the green
overlaps the petals. It actually does create a
little bit of a border. So we can actually
use it to help define a little bit
between our petals. If at any point
we'll make sure that you got all of the overlap. You can just turn
off the first layer. You can see where there's
still some green like that. Luckily to bother to erase or the stems are because
that's green anyway. We went over the
edge a little bit. So let's just take
a clean brush. Very gentle to fill those gaps. Continue where the erasing
makes a huge difference. Goods every so often just
lift your pen up as well. Because if you
ever want to undo, every pen stroke
is considered one. Undo. If you have gotten to a point where
you're happy with it, you can lift up and start again. And that way if
you happen to need to undo it because you
went over the line too much or whatever it
is that you won't lose. If we put in because he's turned on Canvas. So you can see
better. Find edits here that I think is everything. Double-check. Throw
off the layer. Okay, so see here for this, I'm actually just go back
to our air push hard brush. And since a hard
brush is more solid, color can go in and
delete this easier. Let us see what's
going on over here. Should also be deleted. So this whole area, we have our flowers. Next part is going to
be ad in the paper rep. So let's go do that.
7. Outside of Bouquet: We'll start off by going to our color palette and taking this light brown color again. What blenders? Good. We're doing our sketch layer back on. And we'll make clean up this edge here. And I
see what's going on here. Just delete that, making sure that we'd have nice, clean, relatively clean edge between the two
different colors. Muddy. Here, somehow I
miss this. We have that we're going to allocate
a new layer of paper. We have expression. Now we can start
painting it in Olmec, get smaller because
I want to eat a little bit on the darker side. Press hard border. Sometimes I'll later
something a little darker. Darken up the top edge
over here a little bit. I want to simulate
the curl of the paper that we're going to add global torque or
the denture here. Then we can blend out, combines the stroke I'm doing in the direction of the
stroke of where the paper p two gives us texture. Also, add a little more sensitive and
depth to this wrapping. Some darker colors to the other side of
the paper as well. There's a gap between
these two things. So when we do for that, cleaning this up a little bit, these lines that
we're seeing has the guidelines aren't going
to be here on the end. So if I go over them, will make a big difference. Let's go turn it off and
just check this. Over here. We'll do the other side now. I'm going to make the brush
size a little bit smaller because it's a narrower
area to fill in this side. Nose to the bottom of the bouquet area
with a larger brush. Train a match the pressure
belt the same color. Then we'll blend in so we don't see the seam over the different brushstrokes
are connecting the blender and blend them in here and add in a little
more shading and texture. So it looks like we
have some paper that's overlapping, smaller,
sharper edges. The idea here is to give it like a paper bag, look
crinkled paper. You can use paper bag
reference pictures if you want to get an idea
of how the folds would be. The lights and darks. Fun playing the shading, the crinkles, just seeing
whatever affects you get. You don't want it to be too
detailed because again, this is not the main
focus of the picture, of the picture focuses
on the flowers, but you want it to be
visually interesting. And that's what we're
having patients of color, lights and darks
and also adding in these wrinkles, these creases. So it gives it a little
more visual interest. Balances out the picture. Now we're going to add in
the yellow ribbon tie. Let's add a layer on
top of the paper. Will pick this light yellow. For this, we're going
to go actually choose the dry watercolor
brush, make it small. And then having some long
narrow ovals for the bot. Now some lines to show where
the strings of peep ending. Then to add in a little
bit of the strings, I'd be wrapping around
the body of the bouquet. The boosting a little
bright yellow side. Also, somebody added a
little bit of brown color. I'm adding this brown. We'll add some texture to the boat like a
string like texture. Turn off our sketch and see. I think I'll blend
in the brown lines a little bit so they
aren't as pronounced. This is looking great. I'm really happy how
it's coming out. Next. We're going to
add in our background.
8. Adding Background: It won't do all of
these things together. We went added eight
general background now, so another layer, clip, nice cultural clues, and pick this really nice
turquoise blue color. Go to our watercolor Blender, make it fairly large, and we're going to create
a whole nice back up. So you can just go like this. Run your pen back and forth and straight lines close together. You can keeping the pressure, try to keep the pressure
as consistent as possible and to filter
the entire background. Now, what we wanted to be able
to see our bouquet again. So we're gonna go to
this layer, say select, lifting our bouquet
here and hit clear. We can see how it's given us
our outline, mode, shape. The reason it doesn't
completely believe it is because the brush itself is
a little bit transparent. But what we can do is repeat the process a few more times. Selected okay, layer
and then choose, Select, and then move to
the background and clear. And we'll repeat that again. Go into the bouquet layer, select bouquet layer, the background there,
and hit Clear. And you'll see each time
it gets more and more of the the background removed. We can continue this until
your level that you like. Or if you wanted to
speed up the process, we can pick up a brush
and go around the outline which have the entire boat or of the bouquet in pure white. Then I go to Selection Tool and select the whole area
that has a strong white. You can close the shape and then pull down for
the menu and hit Cut. And then the entire inside
area is now a pure white. For the bottom uppercase. Pretty white, but let's
just go and erase a lot more to really finish
that area, the area off. Comes to the ribbon. I'll make my brush smaller. Erase out that area as well. This back on, we have our
layer, it looks very nice. So last thing we're going to
go with is adding our quote.
9. Adding Text and a Frame: We can add a little bit more to add some
finishing touches. And one thing I'd like
to add in is a quote, so we could write it by hand. But I'm going to
go to Procreate, add text feature and type it in. I will say quote here, bloom. This is not exactly the
font I want to fix that. I'm going to edit
text, change that. I want to use. Papyrus which I believe is a fund that
comes with procreate, will move that down
to the bottom. However, you see it's
not exactly it is. Torque is I would like it to be. So let's fix that. Somebody would edit the text and while it's highlighted here, I can go to the color palette
and they get darker color, just slipping slightly
darker, not too much. Now I see the issue is by adding a text a little
bit bottom heavy, so we won't move everything up. So let's do that. Let's
take this layer over. These two together. Will move up, okay, that over our text also up here. And now we need to
film this bump space. So to do that, we're
gonna go to liquefy tool with our push size. Pretty large. Pull down here. Okay, so that's
looking very good. And one more thing we do is
actually add in a border. So to do that, we're
going to make a new layer and using whatever color
doesn't really matter here. Size 0, it says render here. This is size 4241. We're gonna make the
lines going across here. Reporter was putting this into Greek word for d. Let's duplicate this
to make it big, strong, virtual just together. Then we take this selected, go to this layer and hit clear. And now we remove this. We have our border. I think with that,
we've really finished. And I would love to see
how your bouquet came out. So please share
it in the project section so we can comment. And I hope you learned a lot about the brushes and colors, selection tool and various
ways and create flowers. I hope you enjoyed this
and look forward to seeing you in other Skillshare class.
10. Congratulations!: Congratulations on finishing your watercolor
bouquet in procreate, I would love to see
what you've made, so please share it in the
projects and resources section. I'd also love to
know how you like to class and the
watercolor brush set. If you will, please leave me
a review that help a lot. I'm also on Instagram, so feel free to follow and
tag me on your artwork that you create using the skills you've
learned in this class. Lastly, I hope you had a lot
of fun enjoying the process of cranial own bouquet of tulips using watercolor brushes. And I look forward to seeing
you in the next class. Bye for now.
