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 Dogwood Flower, and we will paint the photo into an expressive work of art using Procreate on the iPad. We will do it all using my Expressive Brush Set, which I have provided to you for free {download it here}. You can choose to paint my flower photo I've provided you with, or you can choose to paint one of your own flower photos if you desire.

In the class, you will learn:

How to set up your canvas
All about my Expressive brush set and how I use these brushes {download brush set here}
How to edit your photo before painting
How to paint the background, direct from the photo
How to paint the flower in concert with your background
How to take your painting from realism to expressive using my techniques
How to use stamp brushes for unique mark making
How to loosen things up
How to add interest and excitement by using expressive brush work

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, installed into Procreate
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!
