✨Digital House Portraits in Procreate

Beginner-friendly • iPads provided

In this creative session, students will learn how to illustrate a cozy, character-filled portrait of a home using Procreate on the iPad. Whether it’s their childhood house, a current home, or a sentimental gift for a loved one, each student will leave with a custom digital illustration and a sense of accomplishment.

This class is perfect for total beginners or budding digital artists. You’ll follow a step-by-step process to sketch, outline, and color your house in an illustrated style, with an emphasis on architectural elements, but with a style that looks hand-drawn and relaxed. You'll walk away with a charming keepsake, perfect for framing at home, as well as new confidence with digital skills learned in class!

📌 Note:

This event is geared towards adult learners, but teens 13+ are welcome to join a parent or guardian.

What You’ll Learn:

✔️ How to use basic tools in the Procreate app, including special brushes for inking and coloring your home
✔️ Simple drawing techniques to communicate architectural elements, such as windows, doors, brick, siding, and even simple landscape additions to complete the design
✔️ How to use a reference photo as a base (please bring at least one to class, digital on your phone or a physical photograph!)
✔️ Tips for coloring, shading, and adding expressive detail to add personality
