We live in a fast-paced world, full of impressions, ideas and constant input. As inspiring as that can be, it can also become overwhelming and leave us feeling restless or drained. That’s why it’s so important to consciously create small moments of calm and creativity.
In this class, I’ll show you a gentle and mindful way to slow down through drawing. We focus on simple, repetitive patterns that help you relax, quiet your mind and reconnect with your creative flow.
Inspired by traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles, we’ll create colorful tile designs in Procreate, one step at a time. I’ll briefly introduce the history of azulejos and then guide you through five different approaches to decorating a tile, from simple geometric shapes to more organic and floral patterns.
Along the way, you’ll learn how to use symmetry tools in Procreate, how seamless patterns work, and how to add details like joints and subtle shading to give your tiles a natural, handcrafted feel. The process is calming, focused and surprisingly satisfying and chances are, you’ll find it hard to stop once you’ve started.
This class is for you if you want to:
<ul>
<li>slow down and relax through drawing</li>
<li>explore creativity without pressure</li>
<li>enjoy working with patterns and repetition</li>
<li>learn more about symmetry and seamless patterns in Procreate</li>
</ul>
So if you’re looking for a quiet, creative pause in your day, grab your iPad and join me. I’ll see you in class. 💙
