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! Youll 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!

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.
