DIGITAL PAINTING IN PROCREATE: WATERCOLOR LEAVES

Watercolor leaves and wreaths motifs are a timeless asset in graphic design. The delicate illustrated motifs add a handmade touch to everything from illustrations to stationery and fabric. In this class, I am going to show you how to create digital watercolor leaves and wreaths in Procreate and make them ready for use as motifs in your designs.

You will learn:

• Basic techniques for using digital watercolor brushes.
• How to create two different styles of leaves and twigs
• Several techniques on how to adjust your colors to give that traditional watercolor look to your motifs.
• How to use the symmetry tools in Procreate to construct wreaths.

To simplify the design process, I have created the following class resources I would like to share as a free download that you can access from the class resources tab:.
