Today, I am taking you guys along with me as I play with my new brushes - let’s see what we come up with!
I’m keeping a white background because I’m interested in a “contained” look today, where the art does not reach out completely to the edges of the canvas. I want it to appear as if we had poured white paint onto the canvas, and then poured the colors on and allowed them to seep out into the white.
I love how intuitive the creative process for abstract art is. To start, I’m using the Basic Starter brush to add a progression of colors I am drawn to in a “sort-of” pattern. I then apply the Liquify tool in Procreate and increase the brush size to add some larger whooshes of color.
I’m focusing on finding color combinations that I love through experimentation. I’m not overly concerned with shape, since the Liquify tool is changing that.
Selecting the Liquify tool, and pushing the distortion all the way up, which creates a very realistic ripple effect. I’m experimenting with other settings as well, and by and large - cranking them up high.
A great perk of the Liquify tool is that if you're starting to dislike a certain color or area, you can always just knead it around until you are happy with the results. If you really don't like something, you can always use edge and then just zip it up a little bit tighter so that it basically disappears. The smaller your size is with liquify the more control you're going to have over the whole thing.
Once I am happy with the general shape and colors, I select my Cell 7 brush and make small swipes with it. I’m starting my pencil in a darker color and dragging it over to a lighter color. Sometimes I’ll just come in from the side and drag some of that white background onto the color. If I don’t like the cell pattern that emerges, I undo and try again.
The Swiping Cells brushes are good for swiping/integrating the colors that are already on the canvas, which means they work best in a piece with contrasting colors and would not be a good fit for a more monochromatic piece.
I’m going to switch it up by changing my brush to Cell 8 - this brush goes well with cell 7 and have a similar large, dense pattern.
I test out my Dynamic Cell brushes (found in Smudge tools) hoping for a more dramatic look. I do add some interesting texture, but soon switch back to my Swiping with Cells 4 brush to add a wispy look.
With these Swipe with Cells brushes, if you go really fast you're going to push a lot out of the way - but if you go a bit slow and just kind of let it let it wiggle as it's going in, you can get more of a soft faded look.
Heading back to the Smudge tool, I select Dynamic Cells 1 Dual Color Tilt to flick the white from the outside inwards towards the center of the piece.
Next, I select my Blowtorch brush to add a bit more texture. This brush gets bigger and more opaque the harder you press.
From the bottom of the brush list, I am going to select two blender brushes: Add Cell Texture and Add Ripple Texture brushes, and apply them in areas where we don’t have a lot of texture going on. The effect very subtle. I’m going to play with the opacity, because if you have a light colored artwork then you'll want the opacity higher - but if you have a dark colored artwork then it might stand out a bit too much. These brushes also get darker as you push harder.
Returning to the Liquify Tool, similar to a previous tutorial I just made - we're going to use the Expand setting to add a bit of interest to some of these cells. I’ve got my distortion down to 14 and my size to 20, but I’ll keep playing with that depending on how big these cells are.
As a finishing touch, I would like to add some gold in the little rivers and veins of this piece, so I’m adding a new layer above everything else. With my Fluid Acrylic Dark palette, I’m choosing and gold shade and applying with my Gilding Leaf brush. I’m tracing along the lines that already are there and letting the pressure vary a lot. The gold and the yellow don't really contrast very well so I’m trying to avoid the yellow as much as possible.
That finishes up this piece! Thank you for watching and please join us next time 😊 - Jak na to + styl

I have been trying to create this look in procreate for along time!! thank you for these amazing brushes!
Add about nine minutes into the video I went to Gumroad and bought the brushes. This is a very effective demo. These are going to be fun!
Thank you SO much, I hope you are enjoying the brushes!
I love how you make blobs beautiful 💕
That is pretty much a perfect summary of what I do for a living 🤣 Love it.
Outstanding!
just wow MashaAllah
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Very nice video and very good in detail.
Thank you very much!
take my money, im buying your brush !
Aww thanks so much I hope you enjoy the brushes!
I’ve been trying to do this pour technique for a few days and was wondering how I could get some of original pour designs. Purchased your brushes and now going to give them a try. Thanks!
Thanks so much, I hope you enjoy the brushes!!
Just bought these brushes on Gumroad …. looking forward to exploring them. I’ll add these to my Amazing Alcohol Ink and Painterly brush sets.
Thank you so very much, I really hope you like the brushes!
Just bought the brush set. Using the dark fluid acrylic swatch. But my colours don't look like yours. They look dull. Yours look bright.
Thanks for your purchase! In this video my iPad screen brightness is turned all the way up, so if yours is not that may explain some of the discrepancy. Filming an ipad screen is also a bit tricky when it comes to lighting and colors, and it can also depend on the screen you're viewing the video on as that will also have different settings which can affect the way colors look. In any case, after you have finished your artwork, you can go to the magic wand menu -> hue, saturation & brightness -> and alter the colors and brightness as desired there.
@@AlainaJensen thank you so much ❤️
Beautiful work! May I ask, do you use a screen protector such as the paperlike one? Or just draw straight on the glass? Thanks!
Thank you! Yes I do use a screen protector similar to paperlike but its just an off brand one from Amazon UK. For me it really helps to have something that gives a bit of resistance to the brush.
I want to purchase this brush set but your site is saying can’t be sold in my region??
I think we may have already spoke via email, but I'm not able to collect and remit sales tax in some regions, but you can purchase via my Etsy shop instead: www.etsy.com/shop/alainajensenstudio/
Hi from India,would love to buy these brushes,but options for payments are only through pay pal and visa cards. We use gpay here,is there a link to pay through it ?
Hiya, I'm so sorry but I don't have that option in my country.
Hi Alaina I managed to pick them up,thank you for these…can you do a few more tutorials using them please.
@@tasneemayub I'm glad you were able to purchase them in the end! I do have about 12 tutorial videos total for this brush set, you can see them on this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLHUwaphNwGmgOog_seWEXH8EYQ3o7MUKe.html
