Procreate- drawing and Painting on the iPad

When
Jan 10, 2025 - 10:00am
In this one day, we will learn the basics and start painting immediately in this new media. Digital painting can emulate traditional media and allows you to do things that just can't be done with traditional media. It is a great place to work on preliminary sketches for your traditional media, or work out problems without touching your canvas.
