Learn the oil landscape system that makes overwhelming scenes feel manageable
You see a beautiful landscape and want to paint it. Then you open Procreate and freeze. Too many elements, too many decisions, no idea where to start.
This course gives you the exact order of operations for any landscape scene.
I've spent years developing and refining these techniques, taking what worked best for me and my colleagues, and fine-tuning everything into a system that just clicks.
No more getting lost in endless details or struggling with perspective. Instead, you'll learn how to see landscapes differently and paint them confidently, time after time.
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Never Gets Outdated or Disappears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.
You’ll learn by doing.
Almost every lesson gives you a result you can see on your canvas. And because you keep lifetime access, you can go at your own pace without pressure.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about this and other courses
No. These courses start from the beginning. If you can hold an Apple Pencil, you can follow along. The only requirement is Procreate installed on your iPad. Some are little bit more advanced, but if you follow along you can still make amazing progresses an an artist.
Any iPad after released after 2018 will run Procreate perfectly!
Yes, Procreate works best with an Apple Pencil that supports pressure sensitivity (1st Gen, 2nd Gen, or Pro — not the basic USB-C model) to achieve variable line weight and opacity. Without pressure sensitivity, strokes will have a consistent thickness and opacity, which may limit expressive control. Procreate can also be used with finger input, though achieving fine details and realistic results may be more challenging.
Depends on your pace. The videos total anywhere from 10-20 hours, but most students spend 2-3x that actually drawing along. Lifetime access means no pressure. Finish in a weekend or spread it over months.
Yes, but you'll want your iPad open to follow along. Most students watch the lesson on their iPad, then rewind and draw. Some use a second device to watch while drawing.
Post in the private Facebook group. I'm in there regularly, along with thousands of other students. You'll get answers within hours, not days.
No. This is one time purchase and it's your forever.
