👉🏼 ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video, I show you how to paint a simple watercolor desert landscape illustration In Procreate with cactus
How do you paint watercolor in procreate?
By combining some special brushes and a watercolor paper texture, we can paint in this watercolor style. All the brushes, textures, and materials are linked above. They all come with video instruction on how to use them, so it's something your can use even if you are totally new to Procreate.

👉🏼 PRINT YOUR ARTWORK:
Here's the printer I use:
amzn.to/3q2mKk7
I prefer this one because it's just so easy to get amazing colors and rich, textured shading. This printer is not suitable for printing tiny stuff, like postage stamp size, because it's only going to do 150dpi. That's good enough for a greeting card or anything larger (I prefer to print larger stuff anyways).

Calvin, just love the way you can produce such beautiful drawings & actually print them! Plus, your voice & music selection is so very calming. Thanks for sharing your techniques. PS: I am a big fan of your watercolor brushes and use them a lot.

[@awesomieRee123]

I love your landscape videos! I've bought almost all of your brush kits and paper textures and I love them so much!! Do you have a place where people can show you the art they make with your kits?

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

🤩🤩🤩 wow thank you! I would be honored to see your artwork! My DrifterStudio etsy shop has a 'message me' button. This will open up a live chat where we can talk anytime. You can also attach some of your artwork. Don't worry about bothering me or anything - I only get 1 or 2 messages a day, and seeing what you painted would make me so happy 😊

[@aleksandrakowalczyk5884]

I love your channel, really helpful and informative. You explain everything so clearly and your illustration are really beautiful 😍😍

[@arlenemurphy804]

Hi Calvin, is there a maximum size that can be printed with your watercolor papers? You are my favorite artist on KZbin. I have learned so much from your demos and wonderful tips.

[@StephanieCorralArt]

Another amazing tutorial. Thank you for all you do!

[@lwtalb66]

Hi,Calvin, I very like to see your video.👍! Would you tell me where take the water bush in the procreate? Thanks 🙏!

[@oatmealinthemorning]

I very much enjoyed this video and learning some of your landscape techniques. I would love to see you do more landscapes. For something really unique, it would be interesting to see you go out in nature and do a plein-air landscape.

[@laurascarfo3240]

You are awesome Calvin!! I really appreciate the time you put in to teach all these amazing techniques❤

[@ERIKATAVERNARI]

Hi, Calvin! I love your videos and brushes! Any recommendation for good printer to print this kind of projects? Thanks, obrigada, Merci!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 Printing is always a little controversial, but I prefer Canon Color Laser. The colors are extremely bright and true, and the black is also pure deep black. The negative aspect is that color laser is not very high resolution. This means it's limited to printing large things like A5, A4, or larger. If you print small things, it will not look so detailed. Have you seen my printing video? It will really help explain it

[@donjon11000]

Hi Calvin. This one was a bit of a challenge for me. Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone! Love your videos!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed making this tutorial 💖

[@MasterofMonkeyness]

You are my favourite tutorial channel because each try always results in stunning artwork but I can also relax while doing it because I can keep things simple. I also love the soothing music and the quiet talking on your videos. It really helps me focus and not get overwhelmed. I’m a big fan! Thank you for all the work you do

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much, you are too kind 💕 Painting is a great way for me to get into a calm and positive mindset. It's my dream to share that 😁

[@ahu3551]

You are amazing!!!!!

[@ScoutAndMcKenna]

[@lynnandscottmitchell7593]

Calvin this is so gorgeous and I can’t wait to make this I love it !

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you so much 😊😊

[@arlenemurphy804]

Beautiful

[@sandrift]

Fantastic scene. I love the desert and really enjoyed the cactus video from a while back so I’m looking forward to trying this. Thank you!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Aww thank you so much! I am thinking about doing more cactus scenes, they are so easy paint with this technique. I feel bad that the cactus portion ended up so far towards the end of this video - typically only a 5% of viewers will watch it until that point :(

[@นิพนธ์แก้วประเสริฐ-ภ2ง]

Do you sell your brush

[@venurapublications]

Very nice ❤

[@yolandabai2099]

Hi，I am a beginner，could you tell me which ipad y use？

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Hi! I use an ipad pro 12.9 from 2020/21 You can use any ipad pro. If you buy used ipad, I don't recommend 12.9. The larger ipad has more screen issues 😔

[@BooStudio]

Beautiful!

[@thompsonmonteiro396]

You are the one channel i always wait on to post videos, thanks bro for sharing your art and knowledge

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

wow thank you! I love to make these video for you ☺️☺️ It improves my art and pushes me to rationalize the different techniques I use.

[@AnneArchambault]

So glad to see you adding some landscape scenes to your channels!

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

Thank you ❤️ I didn't have confidence to do landscapes for a long time. I was originally only interested in painting flowers and when I tried to do landscapes this way, it didn't turn out in a style I liked. Now I see it a little differently and it's really helped me paint what I want.

[@FrenchingAround]

Your videos are really brilliant. So easy and satisfying. 15 mins worth months of art classes...

[@annaguettabi3974]

fantastic! Thank you!

[@kimber4854]

Omg thank you!! I have been struggling with skies and this made so much sense!
