04 February 2026 – Evening – Mel Langton: Procreate Valentine’s Card Workshop

Description

Procreate Valentine’s Card Workshop

A lovely way to learn the basics of Procreate. In this evening workshop, learn how to layer a background with shapes and text to create a unique card for a loved one. Card can be printed at the end of class.

This workshop is a short introduction to using Procreate on an iPad and is suitable for beginners or anyone who would like to learn more. I’ll be showing you a variety of mark making techniques, how to trace shapes and fun ideas for you to try out for yourself. You will be welcome to print out a card to take home at the end of the workshop.

Procreate is like having a complete art studio at your fingertips and can be used to create anything from sketches and compositional drawings through to rich digital paintings and illustrations. It’s also the perfect companion for when you have limited time and space to work with traditional methods, plus you can take it anywhere!

Please note that this workshop will be touching on the basics of Procreate, so if you feel you’re ready for more in depth learning, please see my other available workshops.

Workshop Requirements:

• You must bring along you own iPad and compatible iPencil. Please note that third-party styluses may not supported by Procreate, so please check your pencil’s compatibility before the workshop.
• You must ensure that you have the Procreate app installed on your iPad ready to begin your workshop session and that it successfully opens on your ipad. If you don’t have it already, Procreate can be downloaded through the Apple Store (currently costing £12.99).

Please note:

• If you prefer to use an iPad rest, support or stand please bring this with you to the session. Similarly, if you wish to work with a glove or screen protector, please bring these along. As these are down to personal preference, they won’t be supplied for the workshop.
• Ipad’s and their accessories are expensive items and although the workshop size is limited to a small group, you are reminded to please keep your equipment safe and within sight at all times.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available. There will be a short break in the middle of the class, to ensure you have a stretch and a break away from your screens.

About Mel Langton:
I’m a designer and illustrator who works in Procreate as part of my professional art practice, using it to create much of my commissioned illustration work. I also love to create artwork using traditional methods but believe that digital artwork can be a wonderful way to experiment, play, plan, enhance and compliment that work.
