If you're as crazy about your dogs and cats as we are . . .

“Finally a sure-fire approach to turn your pet photos into awesome works of art you’ll be excited to show off!”

Because come on . . . your pets deserve a bit of celebrity pop status!

You probably take endless photos of your pets, but how often do you turn your pet photos into fun works of ART?

Well, it's time to do just that!

Because your pets — cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, or llamas — deserve to enjoy a bit of the limelight too!

You might not want to make your pet “Insta-famous,” but I bet you wouldn’t mind getting more creative with your pet photos and bring out their character in fun ways.

Then you could WOW your friends and family when you share or post your pics ...

(Rather than bore them with yet another pic of your dog being his usual doggie self or your cat staring into the camera with unclear intentions . . .)

(Wonderful composition by course student Marlene Phipps!)

And here's the best part . . .

What if creating art like this was an absolute blast?

What if all you needed to transform your favorite pet photos into extremely cool works of original art was a carefully honed, easily repeatable creative approach (crafted by a professional artist and illustrator) — something you could easily follow with confidence each time?

And what if all it required was a single creative app on your phone or tablet?

Because that really is all it takes. The right approach and the right app. Both of which you can easily take up today . . . and immediately start turning your pet pics into awesome works of art!

And incidentally — we're not talking here about creating images that just sit on your phone looking cool.

(Although having artwork like this as the wallpaper background on your phone or computer would be sweet too!)

But consider this . . . Where else might you want to see your pets showcased?

How about on your coffee mug? How about on your keychain?

How about on a magnet for your refrigerator or a small canvas print you set up on your desk beside your computer?

Or how about on a T-shirt or on a bumper sticker for your car?

What if you created a series of images and made them into a calendar or a photo book?

You can even turn your creative pet portraits into iPhone cases, drink coasters, Christmas ornaments and all sorts of other fun things.

With awesome companies like Shutterfly and Mpix out there, the possibilities are just about endless.

There are SO many cool ways you could be showing off your pets.

And of course it might not even be a pet you have now that you're celebrating, but perhaps instead a beloved pet you've lost . . . Where creating art based on their photos is a way of preserving their personality in your life forever.

Or maybe it's even an adored pet belonging to one of your friends or someone in your family. . .

Imagine all of the cool ways you could turn their pets into amazing gifts as well!

In fact, don't be surprised when folks start asking if they can pay you to create artwork based on their pets!

Put simply, pets are SO much a part of our lives. And the artwork you could be creating based on their photos is not just fun to make, but can also be so incredibly meaningful and fulfilling.

And all of this is why celebrated artist and illustrator Nicki Fitz-Gerald just spent the past several months crafting this exciting new creative approach for you . . .

Introducing:

“Creative Pet Portraiture
with Procreate”

(Where you take your favorite pet pics and transform them into amazing expressive works of art on your iPad or iPhone!)

Creative Pet Portraiture is a fresh photo artistry adventure for the iPad and iPhone ... all about mixed-media collage — using shapes, textures, and painterly techniques that will enable you to create dynamic artistic portraits of your pets.

This approach not only allows you to show off the character and charm of your pets but also encourages you to let loose as an artist and interpret your pets in a more bold, spontaneous, and imaginative way.

This is going to prove one of the most fun and emotionally satisfying creative adventures you've ever enjoyed . . .

What's more, this is a short course, something you can go through quite quickly. In a single afternoon you can learn Nicki's exact approach to creating canvases like this yourself.

And in the process you'll find yourself mastering Procreate and the many wonders it makes possible to you as a digital collage artist, no matter what your subject matter or where your future artistic adventures carry you.

Indeed, learning your way around Procreate is so important, Nicki even put together a special BONUS section for you with expanded training videos on just that!

Here are just a FEW of the things you're going to learn
in "Creative Pet Portraiture with Procreate":

How to identify great pet photos to use as the subject for an amazing canvases. (Whether your pet is a cat or a dog . . . or a hamster, parakeet, or llama!)

Why working with dogs is so different from working with cats. (And you wouldn't think that would be the case. But it's true!)

How to employ both planned and unplanned approaches to creating digital art — combining collage and mixed-media techniques.

The best methods for preparing, storing, and organizing your collage materials.

How to look at everyday surfaces, materials, patterns, artistic marks, and textures — and how to interpret them abstractly to emphasize the unique character of your pet.

An artist's approach to warming up with creative studies of your pet, and how these can improve the final results of your collages.

A pro designer's take on how you should be looking at tonal values (beginners so often miss this point, but it's so important in producing great compositions).

How to make critical use of Procreate’s valuable Reference Panel, Layer Masks, Alpha Lock function, Gradient Tool, and more.

How to paint and apply lettering in Procreate with various brushes and pencils.

The most important aspects of mastering each of the core layer techniques (management, grouping, naming, moving, locking), which are essential to creating complex pieces of art.

Nicki's secret trick (a special device, really) that will make creating painterly effects on any tablet 10X easier. (And no, it's not the Apple Pencil. Though that's awesome too!)

And so much more!

You’ll be learning all of this as you work through Nicki's carefully curated 9-Stage Collage Art Approach in Procreate.

And by mastering her approach (with all its exciting versatility) you are going to attain a whole new level of confidence in your artistry . . .

"Nicki Fitz-Gerald's iPhoneography course will provide you with a new set of skills that will refine your photographic technique enabling you to expand your artistic skills. Nicki is an inspiring teacher of the first order who has shared her iPhoneography skills for more than a year on AdoramaTV, and has presented several courses for journalists and artists in the UK. She has exhibited her iPhoneography work in Europe and the US, and joined me in co-authoring the popular iPhoneography book The Art of iPhone Photography. You will love her approach, and all the exciting techniques she shares!"

Bob Weil
(Author, Graphic Artist, Instructor)

"Nicki's training is a true delight to go through. I never imagined that I would aspire to create abstract art with just my iPhone photos, but Nicki has been such an inspiration! She doesn’t just show you how to 'edit' photos, or how to 'improve' photos — she shows you how it’s possible to create true works of art with just a few apps! It's really fantastic (and fun). With oodles of information, tips, and creative influence, I’m thrilled to be a part of Nicki’s Adventures!"

Katie Lynn
(Photographer, Artist, Blogger)

”It's one thing to be able to snap a good photo on an iPhone and run it through a few apps to make it look cool. But it is an altogether OTHER thing to be able to collect images the way Nicki does and turn them into works of layered, painterly, collage-style art. Doing that (and pulling it off well) takes learning to think and work in a different way. And that's what Nicki Fitz-Gerald excels at. Being an instructor myself, I'm always impressed by how clearly Nicki is able to lay out the artistic process and get her students to SEE differently. It's amazing to watch.”

Nicki's Students Will Tell You She Is Amazing . . .

"In just a couple of hours tonight, I’ve overcome my fear of Procreate, and learnt about two dozen features. (Your one bonus video explaining overview of Procreate alone is worth the entire price of the course!) The infinite possibilities of brushes and stamps are totally going to take my art to a whole new level." - Sebastian Antony

"You have a way of imparting information in a way that is clear, simple (without being simplistic) and entertaining and, more importantly, makes it immediately obvious WHY it is useful, which somehow makes it much easier to absorb! I also love that you encourage an experimental and playful approach which stresses the up-side to making “mistakes.” I really enjoyed the course and learnt much that is useful both in the context of creating pet portraits and art generally. Can’t wait to experiment more…!" ~ Apollo Rizopoulos

More Praise for Nicki's Wonderful Workshops . . .

“I began learning Procreate at the beginning of the year but found it hard to apply it to my work except in the most basic ways. Your video was truly eye opening. Multiple tools suddenly made sense and now I can’t wait to use them. I mainly use IColorama, which I love (I did your iColorama Creative course after teaching myself and that was brilliant too!!!) but was finding it hard to see what Procreate could offer that was better. I now have had a glimpse of a whole new world of possibilities. This course is just what I need to push my creativity while still maintaining an authentic voice." - Susan Latty

A Personal Note From Nicki ...

Hello, fellow creatives!

Now you have made it this far, I am hoping you will take the next step where I will share with you some exciting and fun techniques I have developed for creating expressive pet portraits using Procreate — hands down my favourite app for creating digital art.

Animals have always featured in my art, especially dogs and cats. They are so much a part our lives, it was only a matter of time before I made them the sole focus of my work.

This course evolved from a fun project I started in our Facebook group where I offered to make mixed-media collages for anyone who cared to send me a photo of their dog. The response was huge and resulted in my spending a few fabulous fun months having the best time translating the dog photos into art (and later some of Sebastian’s cats too!) drawing out their characters with colour, paint, brushes, and mark-making!

It was so enjoyable and I learned so many new techniques that it felt impossible not to share them with you.

The idea of these classes is to demonstrate to you a few approaches to building your collages using shapes, texture, and painterly techniques to create a dynamic and expressive portrait that not only shows off the character of your pet but also encourages you to let loose and interpret your pet in a more bold, spontaneous, and imaginative way.

I hope you’ll join me on this all new Creative Pet Portraiture adventure creating fabulous art from your beautiful pet photos!
