Ten reasons to paint with your iPad.
No muss, no fuss, nothing to clean up.
Perfect for travel.
No need to buy extra brushes or tubes of paint. Procreate has dozens of brushes and every color you can think of. (So does ArtSet4, my other favorite iPad painting tool.)
No bulky canvases to store.
Cut and paste to make collages.
Manipulate photographs in dazzling ways.
Take a photo of a problematic oil or acrylic painting, import it into Procreate and figure out where to go next.
Impress your friends on Instagram and Facebook.
If it’s good enough for David Hockney, maybe it’s good enough for you?
I’ll be teaching Procreate at the One River School in Montclair every third Wednesday, starting Wed. Sept. 18 at 6:30 pm.
This is going to be a once-monthly, drop-in, in-person workshop and I’m hoping that it becomes a regular place for iPad artists in the great Montclair metroplex to hang out, share their art, learn new tricks and PLAY.
A quick note: When I taught this summer at Waterfall Arts in Maine, the biggest problem we ran into was people bringing in the wrong iPad pencil. Here’s a list of which iPad goes with which pencil. To figure out which iPad you have go to Settings>General>About. It will list your iPad model.
Beautiful work!
