However, if you\u2019re creative with the tools on offer, you can create engaging drawings. Here is a quick demonstration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by opening <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva<\/a> and sign in with your credentials. Once you\u2019re on the home screen, begin by creating a new design. As you\u2019re trying to paint for the first time, we suggest using a <strong>Whiteboard<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-beb1fdff-924f\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-beb1fdff-924f\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Whiteboard-on-Canva.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Whiteboard on Canva\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1626\" height=\"554\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>After the blank whiteboard is displayed, navigate to the options on the left and click on <strong>Draw<\/strong>. Now, pick any drawing tool and begin drawing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-ecde6963-4deb\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-ecde6963-4deb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Draw-option-on-pttrns.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Draw option on pttrns\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"550\" height=\"409\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>If you notice, only a few drawing tools are displayed. However, you can use tools beyond these. To do that, click on <strong>Elements<\/strong> on the left, search for the shape\/element in the search box, and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-ead4cab8-3aa7\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-ead4cab8-3aa7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Shapes-on-Canva.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Shapes on Canva\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"937\" height=\"480\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>After the results are displayed, click on <strong>See all<\/strong> next to <strong>Shapes<\/strong> to see all available shapes. Likewise, you can do the same for Graphics, Photos, Videos, Frames, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you find the element you\u2019re interested in, <strong>drag and drop<\/strong> it on the <strong>Whiteboard<\/strong> and work on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-e0f56234-2aae\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-e0f56234-2aae\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Drag-and-drop-shape.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Drag and drop shape\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"976\" height=\"426\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above steps will help you draw on Canva, and if you use its tools correctly, you can arguably create an environment close to a paint application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-paint-effects-using-filters\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_Paint_Effects_using_Filters\"><\/span>Create Paint Effects using Filters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can\u2019t draw an image using the Draw tools, you can use filters to create a paint effect on Canva. While the filters don\u2019t fit well with all images, they provide promising results with most. Hence, try experimenting and follow the below steps to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by dragging and dropping the image onto the design from <strong>Uploads<\/strong> present on the left. If you haven\u2019t uploaded the image, click on the <strong>Upload files button<\/strong> and select the image.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-ee66c1c4-e25d\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-ee66c1c4-e25d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Upload-files-button-1.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Upload files button\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"458\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li>After you\u2019ve reverted to the old editor, add the image to the design and click on it. Doing so reveals the options on the top, from which click on <strong>Edit photo<\/strong>. Now search for the <strong>Paint Effects<\/strong> in the <strong>search box<\/strong> and click on <strong>See all<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image gspb_image-id-gsbp-e37cd02f-0434\" id=\"gspb_image-id-gsbp-e37cd02f-0434\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pttrns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Search-for-paint-effects.png\" data-src=\"\" alt=\"Search for paint effects\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"438\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li>If you couldn\u2019t perform the above step, you need to revert to the old editor as the <strong>Picture effects<\/strong> aren\u2019t available on the new editor.
