As far as Procreate, it's a very powerful app, and to teach it I'd have to create about a six month course! The app comes with a very detailed manual that describes all of its features - I know it's a bit tedious, but the best way to learn it is to literally read through the manual and practice each feature as you read through it. Then it really begins to stick! I also highly recommend an online course I took which introduced me to Procreate - it's called "Paint & Pixels" and it's taught by Ivy NewPort and Robin Laws. They are both incredible artists and wonderful teachers. Taking this class changed my creative life!Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00834386300886224116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-3773846024784018682017-05-23T10:37:42.686-04:002017-05-23T10:37:42.686-04:00Sherry, thank you so much for including me as a Bl...Sherry, thank you so much for including me as a Blog of the Week, and for the hard work you put in here - I'm honored to be featured!Sherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00834386300886224116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-25699239384100738412017-05-23T10:10:25.545-04:002017-05-23T10:10:25.545-04:00Congratulations Sherri on your daughter's wedd...Congratulations Sherri on your daughter's wedding, your beautiful poetry which tells your story of coming to terms with your true self and congratulations on your lovely art.

I love both of her poems, and am so glad that she reserves that wild streak for her creativity, both words and images. <br /><br />Sherri, I, too, was quiet, reining in those wild impulses with a heavy hand while a child. Then let them loose for a short time, well after thirty. Found myself nodding my head and grinning to your word portrait of that part of me. And love your nature images. Want to learn all about your Procreate App. Would you consider giving some lessons?<br /><br />Elizabeth Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
