You Don’t Need “Talent” to Create Art You’re Proud Of
Drawing flowers looks simple. But...as beautiful as they are, they’re also extremely complex living things, full of various colour shades and elusive details that can make or break your artwork.
So I am going to show you translucent petals, the dusty pollen, the way light hits the curves - the things that need technique and knowledge. This course teaches you that technique.
Finally, a Course That Actually Teaches You From the Very Beginning
What makes this different from everything else you've tried:
You will learn Procreate from scratch
I assume you know nothing and build every skill step-by-step.
Your Work Will Actually Look Like the Examples
The #1 complaint about other courses? "My version looks nothing like theirs." I show you exactly why yours looks different and how to fix it every single time.
Never Gets Outdated or Disappears
Procreate updates constantly. So does this course. While other courses become obsolete in months, you always have the latest techniques at your fingertips.
Finally Get Results You're Proud Of. Even If You Only Have 30 Minutes
This course is designed so your artwork actually matches what you see demonstrated. Each lesson builds on the last, so 30 minutes today plus 30 minutes tomorrow equals real progress.
Start with individual petals, add pollen, then assemble.
In this course, we’ll start from the beginning and learn our way towards floral illustration mastery. You’ll leave the course confident enough to tackle any floral illustration you (or your clients) want.

Why you should learn botanical art if you haven’t already.
Flowers, leaves, and other botanical motifs are naturally beautiful and often catch people’s attention. It’s not surprising that you see botanical designs everywhere you look. Whether it's fashion, textiles, interior design, restaurants, packaging design, hip cafes or even social media content, flowers can make every design shine.
A gorgeously painted flower can be a stand-alone work of art or a filler for a main motif’s background.
Considering its popularity, you should really add botanical art to your portfolio as it can get you some amazing clients. Believe me, I’ve had tons of requests for floral illustrations over the course of my career. And to be honest, those were some of my favourite freelance jobs.
I’ve been doing botanical art for over 15 years for brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Sephora!
As mentioned above, in my fifteen years of working as a professional illustrator, I’ve done quite a few botanical designs for some of the biggest brands in their industries.
Through a long process of learning, I’ve taught myself the rights and wrongs of drawing floral motifs. It’s the field of illustration I’ve spent the most time studying and practising. I’ve actually become so proficient at it that I’m now teaching artists, such as yourself.
The demand for botanical art sky-rocketed in the last few years. Being able to constantly grow and pass my knowledge onto others enabled me to find out exactly what it takes to master floral illustration. Filled with a bunch of “insider” knowledge, this course will give you everything you need to confidently draw any flower you want!
