Give it a try
Jennifer Nichols has so much to share about Procreate: lessons, styles of painting [pastels, watercolor, oils, chalk], free brushes and textures, and much more. In addition, the community is friendly and supportive, with many people joining in conversations and our zoom Question/Answer sessions. It’s wonderful to share with other artists and learn together. See her YouTube channel and a free Procreate Course to learn her style of teaching. Then join the community to catch a replay of the Hearts class.
