Romantic Mixed Media Heart in Procreate is a relaxed, step-by-step class where we create a layered, collage-style heart using painty textures, paper scraps, and a touch of grunge so it feels handmade and imperfect in the best way. We’ll gather inspiration, build a loose mixed-media background, draw and texture a not-perfect heart, and add simple florals, subtle lettering, and surface detail using clipping masks and Alpha Lock. You can work with the provided brushes and collage pieces or use your own scanned paper, maps, or fabric. By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished artwork that works beautifully as a greeting card, mug design, wall art print, or small seasonal product.
