Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.
This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.


Take care!
Kat

Today's Digital Art: Poppy Field with Procreate on the Ipad

 Procreate is still my favorite way to make art

Poppy Field on Ipad #JamesJulierArtTutorials


I am so happy with the way this poppy field digital painting came out!  James Julier makes the most wonderful tutorials for realistic landscapes.  I can only follow the tutorials if I don't have a headache, and thankfully today I woke up headache free so was able to jump right in.  

As always, these paintings look so much better on my Ipad than they do on FB or Instagram or even my computer.  

If you want to give this tutorial a try, you can find it: here

Procreate art: Pumpkin Farm

 

Pumpkin Patch Farm on Procreate

Pumpkin Farm Procreate Art

I was in a fall mood today and decided to try my hand at pumpkin patch. I googled for images of pumpkins, pumpkin farms, barns, and ended up looking at at several photos in order to put this together.

I love painting without a tutorial because I enjoy the creative process, but my art always looks so much nicer when I use tutorials.

I accidentally switched art styles part way through this, lol.  I did the fields and fence and pumpkins in a sort of story book illustration style before supper, then took a long break and suddenly switched to more realism with my trees clouds, and the roof of the barn.  The base of the barn is more cartoony so it looks weird, but I love the colors and am happy with how this came out. Using these colors makes me very happy.  I hope you guys like it too.

Queen Elizabeth 2 Pop Art on my Ipad with Procreate

 

Queen Elizabeth 2 Pop Art, my first try at this style of art.

I wanted to try Pop Art

So I watched a bunch of videos online and then looked for images I wanted to try to recreate in a pop art style. I found a pretty photo of Queen Elizabeth 2 when she was young. She's been on my mind since she passed and I thought I'd give it a go. I'm a total newb but am so happy with how this came out. It was fun to do and so different from anything else I've tried so far. I am loving my Ipad and Procreate. Digital art is so much fun.

Butterfly Leaf original art on Procreate...sort of Pop Art Style

Trying a New Art Style - Pop Art


Butterfly Leaf by Kathy Schopp



So I am relatively new to art (about a year with Procreate) and I am finally starting to learn a bit about art styles.  I love landscapes, children's illustration (story book) style, and lately I've been enjoying the vibrant colors of pop art.  Although I'm not up to doing faces yet...even comic faces, I thought I'd use some of the bright colors and try something of my own.

It's fall, and the leaves are starting to change, and on my walk yesterday I thought some of the leaves were fluttering about like butterflies, and so....meet my butterfly leaf, lol.

I had so much fun making this, and will probably try it again with differently shaped leaves, and backgrounds.

I also learned that my Ipad does mini videos of my work, which is really cool.  It took much longer than it appears in the video, lol.  It's in two parts because first I did the sketch, and then I did the colors on a separate canvas so I could recolor the sketch another time if I want to.

Procreate Art, Canada Day Flag with Deer

 

Today's art, procreate

Happy Canada Day!

I did this art on my Ipad, with procreate, following a tutorial by Hui Art Studio.  I changed it up a bit, and added a snout and tail to my deer, a shadow, and I used the brushes that came with procreate.

Spring Fields Landscape Art on Procreate

I had so much fun doing this beautiful digital art landscape today.  I followed a tutorial by James Julier, on Youtube.  It was so much fun, and I'm pretty happy with the results.  My clouds need more work, but I'm happy with my trees, bushes, and field :-).

 Seawaves Digital Art, on Procreate

Seawaves, #JamesJulierArtTutorials

I really enjoyed doing this digital art painting on my Ipad, with Procreate. 

James Julier is like Bob Ross for digital art; his tutorials are so good.  The tutorial was an hour long and this took me almost 5 hours to complete, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today's Art is Thanksgiving Themed.

Procreate Art, from tutorial by Tatyworks

 Thanks to Tatiana from Tatyworks for this fun tutorial!  Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada so this is perfect. 

I changed the tutorial a small bit...the only changes I made were to make the border red instead of white, and to add the words Happy Thanksgiving. I need to learn how to do calligraphy as my penmanship is awful, lol.
