This project builds on the techniques from the watercolor sage tutorial, but takes it a few notches up to enhance the real watercolor look! Plus, cilantro has lots of leaves 😁
For this, I used the Everything Watercolor for Procreate brush pack, but you can definitely use any watercolor brushes you have for a similar look! You'll just need a good painting brush (ideally with some natural dark edges), a smudger, and a couple brushes for adding splatters and watery effects.
Thanks for hanging out and making some art with me!

My equipment:
▲ PAINTING ▲
· iPad Pro (2020) 12.9" : amzn.to/2XNOP36
· Apple Pencil (Gen 2) : amzn.to/368ISiU
· Apple Smart Folio : amzn.to/2WhKZwi
· Screen protector: Until recently, I used a glass screen protector [amzn.to/2JojD2o] for extra protection & because I've never minded the feel of the glass, but I switched to Paperlike this spring. I loved it... until it totally wore out after a month. I'm on the hunt for an alternative. More soon!)
▲ FILMING ▲
++ I love geeking out over filming gear and always wonder what other people are using. So here's my list 🙂
· Sony A7R iii Camera : amzn.to/2JqV0lz
· Sony 24-70mm F2.8 Lens : amzn.to/2qNnwHF
· Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art Lens (Amazing for the soft background): amzn.to/2SKX4tm
· K&F Concept Tripod (amazing tripod, allows me to shoot overhead super easily!) : amzn.to/2Wf7CBu
· DJI Ronin SC Gimbal + Focus Wheel : amzn.to/2AK2VZH
++ I use this gimbal to get my B-roll slow motion shots, which I film entirely by myself. Some I hold the gimbal for, and others, I set it nearby and use the app to control the joystick. I'll even put it on a stool and slide the stool to get a nice glide shot sometimes!

![Procreate Project: Painting a Soft Background
Part 5: Painting a soft background in Procreate. In this video, were jumping into our course project of painting mountains while learning the fundamentals of using Procreate.
Its been a few years, and while some of the Procreate interface has changed through updates, I wanted to share my Procreate for Beginners course for free as I think it still holds up beautifully!
Access to all the course files is free, including brush samplers, color palette, and project file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j8E68tP-wZ2HAaFgIeHiuIOdwiUVsOGP?usp=sharing
