Hi First name / friends!

 

I often get asked what my favorite Procreate brushes are, so I compiled 10 of my favorites to share with you in a new blog post. My favorite part of drawing in Procreate is the ability to work with such amazing texture brushes. In my top 10 brushes list, I have included some of my all-time favorite texture brushes that will make your illustrations pop.

This week, I'd love for you to create an illustration using texture in Procreate or using a new-to-you brush! You can check out my brush recommendations here and learn how to add texture to your illustrations in this blog post. Don't forget to share your work with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and tag me @catcoq for a chance to be featured! 

 

I love seeing the wide range of different styles and perspectives when you share your challenge artwork on Instagram. Keep up the amazing work! Here are just some of the submissions that have been featured in recent challenges:

 

Come join me in Spain this summer! My watercolor + entrepreneurship retreat kicks off in June. In addition to painting alongside me every morning, we'll also be diving into workshops, masterminds, and biz discussions where you will learn insider knowledge to succeed in the ever-changing art industry.

 

There are only 4 spots left so reserve yours here before it sells out!

 

 

This retreat is exactly the blend of art, education, AND a location that I have been seeking to host and I couldn’t be more thrilled! The retreat center is in the heart of the first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the South of Spain. 

 

• 1/3 watercolor workshop

• 1/3 business growth

• 1/3 vacation in Spain

 

The goal is to help you create beautiful paintings right alongside me, plus develop the skills necessary to grow a successful creative business.

 

When: June 3–10, 2022

 

This retreat is fully refundable if canceled due to COVID-19. I’m optimistic about the future, but I absolutely want to play it safe, thus the full refund policy if circumstances beyond our control are still an issue.
