Welcome back to my class and let’s dive into Ukrainian art and paint all together beautiful illustration in Petrikovka (Petrykivka) style.

At the end of my class you will learn more about Procreate and composition, especially how to use layers, clipping mask, alpha lock, selection tool and how to add texture, volume and color variation to your picture. And most importantly - you will learn more about Ukrainian folk art, particularly Petrikovka, using gouache and watercolor brushes in a simple way and new painting technique.

You can use the illustration you create for posting in Instagram, add it to your portfolio, or sell it on Etsy, Gumroad and so on. Or just share it with someone whom you really like. I am sure they will be so happy to get an illustration that is created by you.
