Unleash the creative power of Procreate to bring outdoor scenes to life on your iPad, from thumbnail designs to final images. With an introduction by BAFTA-award-winning art director, Mike McCain.
In this book for newcomers to the software as well as more accomplished users, several renowned and experienced designers demonstrate plein air painting, sharing not only their professional tips and tricks, but also how the traditional painting process translates to Procreate.
You will become fluent in using Procreate for all stages of outdoor painting – capturing the spirit and essence of a landscape, subject, or building by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into your works. The thorough Getting Started section spotlights the specific Procreate tools, such as Brushes, Layers, and Adjustments, that bring your paintings to life. Perfecting color and nuance of sky, land, and human subjects outdoors is vital, and the Quick Tips section lets you quickly locate and manipulate the tools you need.
Take the opportunity to observe and practice the techniques as part of a real-world workflow, as professional artists demonstrate in seven step-by-step Projects how to use Procreate’s tools to successfully evolve a plein-air painting from initial idea to final masterpiece.
Whether or not you have used Procreate before, A Guide to Digital Painting in Procreate: Landscapes & Plein Air ensures your passion for outdoor painting can be fully realized on the iPad screen.

This is the 2nd of the Procreate books I’ve ordered. I’ve been reading 3DTotal magazines and books forever and they never disappoint

A ver si buscas aprender procreate es tocar, ser curioso, probar y si necesitas mas mira videos en youtube. Igual con landscapes pero esto no es como otros libros de oleo que te ensena a ver el color o encuadrarlo y medir, simplemente no vale la pena.

This is a great way to learn Procreate. If you are an artist or just want to create something special digitally; then you should be working In Procreate. If you use Adobe Photoshop or other similar apps you should be checking out Procreate. This app is not easy without a good companion study and learning aid like this book. I do a lot of work in Procreate and when I got the newest iPad Pro M4 and the Apple Pencil Pro… well I got this very good User Guide. Along with the learning videos that come with Procreate, this book is a great way to just read and then PROCREATE!

This is a great book for learning how to do landscapes from photographic reference.
But not Plein Air. Virtual plein air, yes, but not actually outdoors. Almost every contributor skips that part, and it they were probably editorially directed to do so.
This book contains almost no advice on how to set up an outdoor easel for digital outdoor painting, equipment and supplies for outdoor work like tripods, dealing with light, battery power, etc.
Instead, this book deals with composition, layering choices, etc. It’s a “how to paint landscapes from photographs indoors”. And that’s not my definition of plein air, nor most of the traditional art world’s. I think the title is a complete misnomer and probably selected to imply the book was about something it wasn’t so they could appeal to more purchasers.
I would not recommend this book to anyone actually wanting to learn how to paint outdoors with Procreate. While the content is interesting, it’s not what the title implies. I personally feel like I’ve been bait-and-switched.

I’ve only been using Procreate for a few months now. I’ve done a lot of the online tutorials and bought all the previous books, but this one covers my preferred material subject…landscapes and architecture. While I got a lot out of the previous books, they all spend half of the book covering the tools and features of Procreate. This book assumes you know the basic functions of Procreate, which I appreciate. The tutorials are detailed and explained clearly. My favorite of all the Procreate books.
