Intro to Loose and Bold Watercolor Floral in Procreate

This short intro will give you an overview of the class. I talk about the resources we will be using.

Lesson 1: Overview and Document Set Up

In this lesson, I will give an overview of the document set-up, including importing the color palette which I provide. You will also receive an overview of the various paper textures and how to place them and add blending modes.

Lesson 2: Rough Sketch and Painting Pointers

In this lesson, I will break down the complete process of choosing what brushes to use as well as showing you how to do a super quick sketch of flower shapes. I show you several of the brushes from the resources package and explain the idiosyncrasies of each. Then we paint a few of the flowers and I explain the reasoning behind the choices I make.

Lesson 3: Finishing Flowers and Starting Leaves

In this lesson, I will explain the settings and sizing of the brushes in relation to the look we are trying to achieve. I will show you some of the key techniques I use and explain every step of the way. By the end of the lesson, you will have the beginnings of a lovely layout with plenty of interest, and you will know how to use most of the brushes in the accompanying download. I will show you how to practice making leaf shapes with just one stroke.

Lesson 4: lnitial Layout Tips and Tricks

This is the lesson in which I teach you about creating the seamless tile. We are left with an obvious area that needs to be filled. I show you a bunch more adjustments for brushes as we work our way through this lesson.

Lesson 5: Filling in All the Leaves

In this lesson, we start getting to the nitty gritty of the final artwork. I will be finalizing all the leaves and that will include creating a mask to get rid of unwanted details peeking through the flowers. We are one step closer to finalizing our design now.

Lesson 6: Fill In Dots and Using the Mops

At this stage, we pull our layout together, and I will add the small details that make it work. I use the brushes as stamps to add fill-in dots to suggest additional flowers. We take a quick look at color adjustments and using the mop watercolor brush to bump up the colors in the big flowers. This is the last step before adding background details. This will show you just how versatile this technique can be and how valuable experimentation is in your development.

Lesson 6: Background and texture Details

Adding all the finishing touches is the focus of this lesson. I will be adding all the background textures into the piece and then further enhancing all the foreground items with a combination of the color mop brushes as well as textures such as spatters.

Lesson 7: Conclusion, Mockup and Next Steps

We will conclude everything in this lesson. I show you a couple of quick mock-ups with the pattern and we end with a chat about next steps.
