Painting Abstract Art with Metallics and Texture in Procreate | Modern Digital Art on iPad

- čas přidán 6. 04. 2021
- Made using iPad Pro 2020 in the Procreate app with Apple Pencil, using my "Painterly" brush set and the "Van Gogh Flowers" color palette that comes with it. You are very welcome to follow the tutorial with any other brushes you have.
Painterly Brush set: shop.alainajensen.com/b/paint...
Specific brushes used:
- Master Impressionist Dual Color
- Choppy Strokes Dual Color
- Dry Oil (Smudge)
- Dry Oil
- Super Dry
- Metallic Strokes
Canvas size: 12 x 12 inches at 300 DPI.
For this abstract painting, I first create a base out of neutrals - beige, white, grey, and black. I lay out a basic shape so I know where my areas of color are going to be, and where my white space is going to be. I then add accents of pink, greyish blue, and gold, and begin to blur and smudge it all together using the smudge tool. The idea here is to blend textures and remove some harsh lines while keeping it realistic. I want to still let some of the texture still peek through.
A Few Tips:
- When creating abstract art, chaos is your friend! Don't be afraid to get messy, and lean into irregularities.
- Always use a new layer when adding metallics - If you continuously add to metallics on the same layer, you will get a "washed out" effect which is NOT what you are going for here!
- Add a few selective pops of bright color
- Leave some white space to maximize visual interest without the feeling of clutter

Wow! Let me say that again backwards... wow! First impressions? Bold move using black; fabulous textures; excellent brushes and who could not appreciate the metallic "pop". The beauty of abstract art is we can make it as it pleases us. It’s not something we need to copy exactly but rather use the techniques you share with us. What was on my agenda today will be waiting while I create my own abstract piece 😊. Thank you, Alaina for another tip top tutorial. Cheers, Chrissie
Wow thank you so much for your kind comment and support! I'm so glad it was inspirational for you. This is one of the reasons I love abstract art, it's just so individual to the creator and really opens up new ways to express oneself.
Thanks you for this great video. I love your tutorials and brushes.
Great video and great brushes - if I start painting more I am buying this!
I just love this brush set, one of my definite faves. Thanks Alaina. xx
Wow, thank you so much!
Woohoo just bought the subscription! I think this is the first time I buy something without thinking twice, that’s how amazing Alaina’s brushes are! I almost have all of them 💗💗💗
How do you download them
There’s a link in the description, it’ll take you to Alaina’s painterly brushes. At the bottom you choose whether you want to buy only the painterly brushes or buy the Upgrade: 2021 bundle to get Alaina’s painterly brushes along with the galaxy brushes and at least 4 more sets that will come out later this year 😊😊
Thank you soooo much for your support, it means the world to me! I'm so grateful to know that you like the brushes.
Ikr! They’re the best of the best!
Omg i love it!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for this tutorial
Another beautiful tutorial. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Joyce!
oooh I love this. Going to try this out.
I hope you enjoy!
Beautiful. I bought the brush set, I did notice there was no promise it would look like yours.
Thank you! It's true, abstract art is more about expressing your unique perspective rather than a uniform approach, so no need to make it look just like mine.
THIS is what I've been looking for GREAT video
I'm so glad the video was helpful, thank you for your comment!
Have you spotted the almost perfect Horse Eye in the black area top right ?
Haha that is so funny, I did not notice it at all until I saw your comment! Now I can't unsee it 🙈😂
Like traditional painting techniques, and the texture effect is obvious.
Nice❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Nice tut. Would you recommend going digital over old school papper journal? What i see is thats easier to scale, carry around and so on, but is it convenient to transfer your ideas from digital to canvas later.
Thank you! For me, digital is easier because it's very quick and easy to get it out and use it for art from any location without having to have a lot of time and space to spread out, then clean up. That said I do love getting messy with the analogue art supplies every now and then!
What paper do you use to print this piece?
Thank you this was helpful! Do you know the song used in the background so relaxing?
I'm glad it was helpful! The song is called "And so it goes" by Pink Zebra.
Wonderful tutorial ! Thanks for sharing. I noticed something strange with my “Abstract” brushes which come with Procreate. I don’t think I’ve noticed this before but maybe I just didn’t see it but they don’t paint at all with the colors I choose. Is that normal and just a strange effect of them? Ty for any help!
Hey there, I'm glad you like the tutorial! Did you mean the default Procreate brushes in the Abstract folder? Some of them have color dynamics, but you can turn them off by tapping the brush then tapping it again to bring up the brush settings, going to "color dynamics" and turning all the sliders to 0. Probably also best to duplicate the brush before changing the settings.
@@AlainaJensen Thanks so much !
What if you can’t afford to pay for brushes?
How did u find that gold colour?, I find the procreat colours so drab
I chose a burnt gold/brown color to use with the metallic brush - if you're getting dull colors you can turn up the "S" slider on the value tab to get more saturation.
Have you tried printing art with metallic colors? Wondering how well color comes out once printed.
I do print the artwork with metallics and it generally prints quite well, but the main thing to keep in mind is that it’s not true metallics when printed, meaning that it won’t reflect light the way real metallics would. It prints out more like a picture of something sparkly, so that it can give the impression of metallics but on closer inspection it’s just a photo, I hope that makes sense?
If you are in our facebook group, there is a pinned topic to see some examples of how other people’s prints have turned out.
@@AlainaJensen yes that makes sense. Just joined the group!
@@ImThatSassyChic Thanks so much for joining! See you there 🤩
I love watching your videos and learning from you but the way you keep zooming out in those fast sudden movements is so disturbing to my eyes that I often can’t watch the videos to the end and that I’m also finding myself looking for other artists to teach me instead 😢
Hi Mette, I'm so sorry you're having trouble watching the videos! When you say zooming, do you mean that it's going too fast? I'm currently trying to tweak my video speeds because I've had some feedback that I go too fast so I'll be working on slowing down a bit more.
@@AlainaJensen No it’s when you want to see the full picture and use two fingers to zoom out on the iPad. May I suggest using the reference-function instead 😊
@@cqdesigndk Thanks for clarifying, I didn't realize that my zooming could be disturbing! I will try to change my routine so there is less of that.
@@AlainaJensen You’re a doll ❤️
