Negative Watercolor Painting in Procreate

via Skillshare

Overview

Negative painting is the practice of painting around an object rather than painting the object itself. When layers of negative painting are used in a piece, it creates fantastic depth. Often times, embellishing the final piece with some details is preferred and really finishes a piece nicely. 

In this class, I will show you a technique to do negative painting in Procreate. We will use Procreate’s digital abilities to make these paintings in a fun and creative way without the tedious hand painting that is involved when doing it on paper! You’ll need an iPad with the Procreate app, as well as a stylus! It would be best to already be familiar with the Procreate app before taking this class. 

I have loads of free brushes and a beautiful Procreate canvas for you so you can achieve a hand-painted look with ease. Join me!
