The Procreate app is a powerful tool, and is the perfect method to quickly and easily figure out what’s wrong with your in-process paintings.

Using your iPad and your finger (or the apple pencil), you can design your way out of trouble. It’s a relaxing, creative, and efficient way to bump your paintings up to the next level. Once you’ve figured the problem areas out digitally, then you can execute the changes with confidence. You need no prior experience with Procreate, I’ll start at the very beginning and walk you through.

Supplies:
Your iPad (I’ll be using an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, but regular iPad and your finger works just as well.)
Procreate app downloaded onto your iPad ($12.99)
Optional: Apple Pencil (make sure it's compatible with your iPad)
