A landscape system that makes big 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.
I give you a clear order of work so backgrounds, midgrounds, and details stop competing, and the painting can actually finish.
What makes this course different
Stop getting overwhelmed by complex scenes
The secret to painting landscapes isn't in painting every leaf and blade of grass - it's in knowing which details matter and how to get the scene you see onto your digital canvas.
Break any scene down into simple steps
Idea and reference, sketch, base colour, then detail. Every exercise runs the same four steps, so a mountain lake and an autumn forest stop being two different problems.
Create depth through layering
You will sequence your layers so distance reads correctly, and choose colours that keep the far hills sitting behind the foreground instead of jumping forward.
Handle elements like clouds and water
You get the artist-grade oil brush set I use in the exercises, and the practice module covers the parts that trip people up: cloud edges, water reflections, and distance.
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.

Finish three complete projects that build your skills naturally
Each project in this course is designed to take the mystery out of landscape painting and make it feel like second nature.
Exercise 1: A Seaside
Paradise - Introduction to Composition and Detailing Bring a dreamy oceanside view to life. You’ll paint a cliff overlooking the sea, with a meadow full of bright flowers in the foreground. Add a sprinkle of magic with a rainbow, and learn how to layer colors to create texture and depth. This is where composition and detailing start to feel fun.
Exercise 2: A Picturesque
Mountain Lake View - Mastering Perspective and Reflection Capture the calm beauty of mountains reflected in a crystal-clear lake, surrounded by a lush, green forest. Add some mist for that peaceful, early-morning vibe while experimenting with perspectives and reflections. This one’s all about nailing angles and creating that mirror-like magic.
Exercise 3: An Autumn
Sunrise in the Forest - Shadows, Light and Distance Paint the warm glow of an autumn sunrise lighting up a forest in fiery reds and oranges. You’ll learn how to break a landscape into background, middle ground, and foreground, and how to work with light and shadows to make it pop. Plus, I'll show color tricks that bring your scene to life.By the end of these exercises, you'll have three st
Exercise 4 (2026 Lesson): Sunset

Plus, I'll show color tricks that bring your scene to life and create realistic waves.
Your mentor
For over 15 years I've been doing illustrations for brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and Sephora
I'm Freya Kotchakorn. My digital illustrations have been used by Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Sephora, and I've spoken at Apple Store events to teach Procreate techniques.
Yet my favorite work isn't for big brands, it's helping complete beginners surprise themselves with what they can create. My favorite feedback is when they tell me: "It felt very geared towards beginners wanting to learn Procreate... it felt like it was attainable even for someone like me who has very little experience."
That's exactly what I designed this course to do. Make the "impossible" feel completely achievable.

Real students who started exactly where you are right now.
Once you can paint landscapes consistently, opportunities show up
Beautiful landscapes have universal appeal - everyone has a favourite place they'd love to see captured in art. Your skills can open doors to:

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.
Any iPad 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.
Depends on your pace. The videos total 18+ hours, but most students spend 2-3x that actually drawing along. Lifetime access means no pressure. Finish in a month or spread it over a year.
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 a one-time purchase and it's yours forever.
Yes, I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, simply reach out within 30 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
