1. Take a photo of your painting

  • Put your painting flat on the table.
  • Stand above it.
  • Take a clear photo from the top (not from the side).

2. Open Procreate and add your photo

  • Open Procreate.
  • Tap photo top right
  • Find your POND photo.
  • Choose your pond photo.

3. Duplicate your photo layer

  • Tap the double square icon (Layers).
  • Swipe left on the layer with your photo.
  • Tap Duplicate (just in case you make a mistake).

4. Select only the water area

  • Tap on the photo layer to make sure it’s selected.
  • Use your finger or Apple Pencil to draw all the way around just the water area.
  • Use a colour to draw with that’s similar to the colours you used to paint it.
  • Make sure the water is fully surrounded so only that part will move.

5. Make the water move (Liquify!)

  • Tap the magic wand icon at the top.
  • Tap Liquify at the bottom of the list.
  • Use Push to gently swirl the water.
  • Try Twirl or Expand in small amounts.
  • Go slow and don’t press too hard.

  • For example – I used watercolours to create a painting in Monet style, then I used a app tool called liquify to make the water look like it’s moving – pretty cool . .
