This year I hosted a special Halloween-themed art workshop with the Burnaby Public Library!

I'm incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to plan and teach these art workshops with my local library! We usually do a set of art workshops for summer break, winter break, and spring break, but this year we also decided to do a Halloween-themed workshop.

The library has a new set of iPads that we've been using for the teen art programs this year.

Some basic key skills I always go over with these Procreate workshops are:

• Resizing the canvas,
• touch gestures (undo, redo, clear layer),
• use of the symmetry ruler,
• and using layers...

And for this particular workshop, I also wanted to show participants how to use the Gaussian Blur function and Add (Glow) layer mode in Procreate to achieve a glowy look!

The teens could choose any elements they wanted to add around their cats. I asked them to put all the elements that were going to be glowy on the same layer.

Their work turned out so cool!
