Hello, and welcome to my class! If you love to take photos and have been searching for ways to transform your photos into works of fine art, you're in the right place!

In this class we will be taking a snapshot of a flying bumble bee, and we will paint the photo into a fun, colorful and charming work of art using Procreate on the iPad. We will do it all using my Paint and Blend Brush Set, which I have provided to you in the class resources. You can choose to paint my bee photo I've provided you with, or you can choose to paint one of your own insect photos if you desire.

In the class, I show you:

How to set up your canvas
How to do a brush test to learn the characteristics of the brushes
How to select accent colors for adding more vibrancy to your painting
How to loosely paint the background
How to paint the bee
How to paint in details and add more color
How to paint and enhance the background, tying the subject and background together
How to add final touches, including your own signature

To participate in this class, you'll need:

An iPad
An Apple Pencil
Procreate 5 installed on your iPad
A basic understanding of how to use the features of Procreate, including installing brushes
The brush set I have provided you with
An understanding of how to transfer the photo you wish to paint onto your iPad, whether that be the photo I've provided you with or one of your own

When you're finished with this class, you will have a painting similar to mine, but with your own special touches and unique style. And remember, the techniques you will learn in this class can be applied to painting any photo you wish to paint in Procreate on your iPad!
