This is an abstract watercolor that I recently did on my iPad Pro in Procreate. I did it using new watercolors that I recently purchased from Max Ulchiney.
They are really fun brushes to use. They feel a whole lot like you are using real watercolors. It also includes a wax crayon that I have come to love.
I don’t have much to say about these women that I’m painting. I’d rather let the viewer figure them out.
They are a series done in Procreate on my iPad with new watercolor brushes I just downloaded. I love the watercolor brushes. I’ve not seen any in Procreate that I was impressed with before.
Here comes another lady. I am doing these on my iPad Pro in Procreate.
I recently purchased some new watercolor brushes for Procreate. I think they’re the best ones I’ve ever used in Procreate.
I’m doing a portrait a day again. I don’t know how long it will last. But I thought I would post some on my blog.
There are things askew here. But things I like. I’ll just keep moving forward.
So here I am AGAIN painting a daily face. I do this for awhile, then for some reason I quit. Then all the lessons I learn are forgotten, much of the forward motion I make is lost.☹️
Then I have to get up the courage to start again. I pull out my notes, look at the old portraits, see what I did right and wrong and go forward again.
This time I am working with new watercolor brushes in Procreate 5.0. I have never been impressed by watercolor in Procreate. But these brushes by Max Ulichney ($25!!!!!!) were being spoken of as really wonderful.
I balked at the price. But then went ahead and purchased them at Gumroad.
I really like them a lot! Max outdid himself. So did Procreate with its new brush engine.
So far, I’ve done three of these and they are improving each morning.
This is a painting that I did in a computer app called Rebelle. It is a watercolor app that looks just like real watercolors and acts just like real watercolors. It also has inks, acrylics, markers, pastels and pencils.
Artistically, I’ve been in a real funk for about eight or nine months. I’ve been quite ill all that time and I guess it just took my art abilities away from me. It’s been really frustrating and frightening and depressing.
However, I’m finally feeling better. Not all the way healthy, but better.
As a result, I’ve felt like painting again. And I’ve wanted to paint in this particular app because it makes these fabulous drips. Just like real life drips. It is mesmerizing to sit and put water on the acrylic paint and watch it flow.
So I’m calling this painting Breakthrough because I didn’t think I’d ever make a halfway decent painting ever again that I liked.
This is a painting I recently did in Corel Painter 2019. Painter is an app for the computer. It has just about every type of artistic media you can think of: pens, pencils, oils, watercolor, pastel, crayons, etc. It literally has hundreds of brushes. Over the years, I’ve collected thousands of brushes.
It has a pretty steep learning curve. But there are lots of videos available and classes available.
I did this piece using brushes I made myself. I pretty much only use brushes that I make anymore. I find that after having used Painter for such a long time, I’m very particular about my brushes. I want a brush(es) that’s going to do exactly what I want it to do.
I like getting new brushes from others, but I always will tweak them a bit to suit my needs.
Enjoy!
