Procreate Watercolor Tutorial Using ONLY Standard Brushes

[@Wisteria_Night]

I can't believe I've been so dumb. I didn't know you could change the brush texture of the smudge tool! That's how artists blend their colors so perfectly??? OMG THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS! I've used the smudge tool only twice and hated the default texture, so I never used it again. But learning I can change it has changed my life D;

[@Squidpeg]

That's how some artists blend for sure. Definitely not dumb! It took me a little while to figure that out and I also hate the (lack of) texture of the standard blend tool. You can do the same thing with the eraser tool, too. Happy painting!

[@Wisteria_Night]

@@Squidpeg Haha thanks for the reassurance and thank you for spreading your wisdom! ^-^

[@merviart]

Thank you for creating a tutorial using the default brushes!

[@Squidpeg]

You're very welcome and hope it helps!

I’ve really enjoyed this video out of many others and I’ve already watched a few times as I learn…you’re wonderful! Super artist too! Thank you m’am…for the record, I’m 66 yrs old. I’ve taken many classes in person over the years, read, done the tutorials on the internet, etc. you’re great at explanations! I will shortly be taking them all!♥️

[@Squidpeg]

Thank you! I’m working on explaining my process and “how tos” so I’m glad the process is working for you.

[@gavinkaufmanworld]

Really helpful - thanks for sharing 😀

[@kle1701]

This was very helpful. It is just what I needed to be able to understand how to get a watercolor look in Procreate.

[@Squidpeg]

I'm so glad! Would love to see what you create.

[@Swanheart33]

Great video! I also recommend Quoll from the Artistic category.

[@stephanienixon9529]

Great video. Very helpful, thank you. Looking forward to seeing your creation with these brushes.

[@Squidpeg]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful. 😊

[@salonidugar5193]

You’re so right. The actual watercolour brush is so underwhelming. I’m a beginner and when I used that, I was really not satisfied and thought I might have to buy some extra brushes. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@JasmineCherie]

Grateful for your video, i use mostly stock brushes as all i can afford, later i bought a pack and i was not pleased. I try make my ownbut not sure were to import source from. Do you have a video on that? I like your teaching style❤

[@JasmineCherie]

And Sorry for typo I'm on old tablet to watch videos use ipad at same time to follow tutorial

[@Squidpeg]

I actually hadn't thought of doing a tutorial on that but it's a good idea! Thank you and I'll have one up in a week or two. :)

[@beavertown2006]

Fantastic tips. You are our angel!

[@Listwithllama]

Buying a set up for my wife. What iPad and pen should I buy?

[@the_moo]

iPad Pro with the iPad pencil and the magic keyboard

[@creativetve3040]

I really don't know about this.... Thanks a ton and please recommend other brushes to buy.

[@nopriors]

I have done an image but did not have a watercolor paper texture . Can I add it now? Thanks , Greg

[@Squidpeg]

You can definitely add it at any point. Just put it as a layer on top of the painting layers.

[@iastorgaphotos]

These tips are excellent! Thank you so much!🤩

[@miltonarts]

A really good, really helpful video. Thank you! x

[@Squidpeg]

Thank you! I'm glad it's useful. :)

[@lrganster]

Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@Squidpeg]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@inesmenge1741]

This was VERY helpful. Thank you so much!

[@Squidpeg]

No problem! I'd live to see what you create. 😊

[@ZeeGauntlet]

If you purchase brush packs for procreate do you have to credit the creator of them? I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw watercolor and I must admit it’s been a bit overwhelming. I usually do ink but I prefer watercolor look and it’s like trying to unlearn the way I draw lol

[@Squidpeg]

@@ZeeGauntlet you'll want to read the terms set by the brush creator when you're purchasing. I've never come across a brush set that requires/requests you give them credit if you use the set you purchased, but it's possible. I provide the names and links to any purchase ld brushes I use in my videos just in case viewers want to go buy the exact ones I use.

[@anniewinch4340]

Very clear instructions thanknyou

[@arlenemurphy804]

Glad I found you. Thank you.

[@curlycurlsgirls]

i really really appreciate this video

[@WheresBabZ]

Thanks for this info!!!!

[@Carina-2906]

Thank you very much for this wonderful video

[@lindalee945]

So, the program doesn't have any watercolor paper?

[@Squidpeg]

Not natively, no.

[@JasmineCherie]

You can import them easily. I found a tutorial That Gave some free. Links are often the descriptions. Another way... I made a paper with a brush. I made it, using the sources in the procreate library.

[@nopriors]

So much info and to the point Than you

[@Squidpeg]

Thank you. Hope it was helpful.

[@ellienewton9454]

My moorilla brush doesn’t seem to change opacity when I use it :( do you know what I could be missing?

[@Squidpeg]

Are you using the Apple Pencil? Many other styluses don't support the pen pressure function very well.

[@advsonhere]

First time here. I just subscribed.

[@Squidpeg]

Awesome and thank you.

[@jochenkruger1547]

Only talking….too much for me. Sorry, but this video is really bad

[@user-nd7rg5er5g]

Here's something simpler for you to understand: shut up.

[@jacouilledefripouille9076]

Can’t compete with real watercolor paintings

[@Squidpeg]

It's a good thing art isn't a competition. I recommend @WatercolorbyShibasaki and @MargaretMoralesArt.
