If you’re a keen artist, photographer, or illustrator, you might be interested in Introduction to Procreate with Paul Macklin . During this day-long workshop on the ins and outs of Procreate on the iPad, you will learn about the different drawing, painting and sketching tools on a versatile platform that can help you broaden your artistic world. This workshop will help you expand your creative toolkit, and learn how to draw and paint on your iPad, allowing you to have a portable and digital painting and drawing studio anywhere you go.

If you’re interested in this, then you might find that Introduction to Procreate is the kind of course that you might enjoy. Using a portable and adaptable canvas can be versatile, and Procreate for the iPad is perfect for sketching, painting, developing ideas, adapting photographs, tracing images, presenting images, and doing so much more. The iPad offers great flexibility when it comes to sketching ideas on the fly, creating detailed illustrations or painting digital masterpieces, and can be seen as a seamless and flexible platform for digital artists to bring their creations to life.

What does Paul’s workshop offer? To start, you will learn about what is possible with Procreate through an exploration of what you can do with Procreate on the iPad. During the workshop, Paul will share a small selection of his landscapes, portraits, and abstract works to show students what is possible, and to show how Procreate can support studio painting practice and teaching.

After this, Paul will go over what students know about their iPad, Apple stylus and Procreate, but it is okay if you don’t know anything as well because that is the point of the workshop.

Following that, Paul will teach students about the Procreate tools to use Procreate as a sketchbook:

Navigating your iPad and opening a new Procreate file

Working with a range of brushes and erasers

Selecting colours and the versatility of the colour palette

Importing and working with photos

Working with layers

Resizing and manipulating your images

Saving and sharing your artwork

And then, in the afternoon, students will cover:

Procreate as your sketchbook

Drawing from a photograph and drawing from life

From representation towards abstraction
