Learning to work with Layer Mode on Procreate

Most of my design starts as a painting. It's a lot slower, but I still enjoy playing with art supply. After scanning the original painting, I bring it into Procreate. I usually start off by clicking on different layer modes to see the possibility. After alot of clicking, this version was the most interesting.

I thought I better write it down, cause I definitely wont remember the steps involved to recreate this again.


The bottom layer is soft teal on blue, I clicked on SUBTRACT mode...


the soft teal turns into this lovely deep shade of blue....


I place this oriental blue clouds on top of the bottom layer...I then click on DIVIDE...


which is how I got this gorgeous magenta & white sky.


If the blue clouds did not reveal itself to me, I probably won't finish it off as a landscape.
