How to create sources for your paintings using procreate!

In this video, I am going to show you how I use procreate to create sources for my fine art paintings. In the procreate app, you can splice together images and play around with the effects to create a unique source. This reference image can help you create a beautiful, original painting!

    Thanks so much for making this tutorial. I had no idea how to use the app. I have seen it in the Outstanding Artist series and they use it a lot before making their paintings. It is extremely useful to have it explained simply. Cheers😊

    This was hugely helpful thank u very much! Been painting for couple years in acrylics and I want to take my art in this direction but lack the knowledge. I never went to any art school and I’m older and these digital art apps are a mystery on how to create a source. Thanks a lot new subscribers for sure.

    This was so helpful! I am in week 10 at Milan . I downloaded pixelmator and was so frustrated! I am not technically inclined . I couldn’t find any tutorials to help me figure out how to use it. So thank you so much for making this so simple to follow and good luck with your art career. I love what you’re doing so far.!!

    Hi Carly. So helpful, thank you. Now that I’ve made my reference in Procreate I can’t seem to print it out. I’ve tried all the file types but when it exports to the printer it says unsuccessful every time. Can you share the steps for how to print directly from Procreate? Thanks for the great content.

    Hi Diane! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! For printing out a source from Procreate, I think you would have to first save it as a JPG or PDF, and then print it from that saved filed. I hope that helps! ❤

    I use a projector to get it on the canvas! Generally just tracing the outline with pencil first and then painting on top of that.
