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. They are as versatile as they are wonderful to look at and they’re often included in every field of graphic design.

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. 👇

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!

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.

Master the basics

By starting with different flower petals, learning about all the different types of pollen and getting to know various types of leaves, we’ll build a strong foundation on top of which you’ll be able to build on.

Colour the right way

You’ll learn how to properly sequence your layers in order to capture the natural essence of your botanical designs. In addition to that, you’ll learn how to select the exact colours and apply them to your painting to really nail the natural look of the flower.

Use the right brushes

By enrolling in this course, you’ll get a set of brushes that we will use for the exercises for free. We’ll learn which brushes to use for different types of drawing techniques. You’ll also master drawing the lines to make your flowers really pop!

Capture the details

Paint flowers that people will recognize right away. Learn to recognize and capture complex details that make each flower unique.

Once you paint something in Procreate, you can use it in a bunch of different ways. Offering canvases of many shapes and sizes, Procreate allows you to print your designs onto various mediums. 

Design your own clothes or accessories with beautiful botanical motifs. Print it as a poster or frame it with a gorgeous frame to get a one-of-a-kind painting for your wall or to give as a gift.

Create gorgeous phone or computer backgrounds or engaging content for your social media profiles that will drive traffic and boost engagement.

Over the course of my professional career, I’ve realized over and over again that the saying “practice makes perfect” couldn’t be more true. Imagine learning to swim … in your living room. Once you hit the water, you’d probably drown within minutes.

And since painting of any kind demands certain training of your muscle memory to master the various painting techniques, one thing is more than obvious: more practice equals faster improvement. There’s also no better way to really grasp the theory and put your newly-found knowledge to use than actually drawing.

That’s why I structured the course in a way that every lesson contains a follow-along exercise. This way you’ll be able to practice while getting all the knowledge you need. And hey, in the end, you’ll end up with quite a few art pieces that you’ll be able to showcase in your portfolio.

Before creating this course, I ran an extensive survey. I asked over 1000 digital art students to list the biggest pain points they experienced when trying other botanical art digital courses out there. 

“The lecturer is speaking too fast,” “the course is not structured enough,” “just talking and no practice,” “too many similar exercises,” were some of the most common answers.

I did my best to structure the course in a way that it would cover everything you need while avoiding the most common setbacks you would experience following other courses. 

If you’re like me, you find it extremely overwhelming when the instructor rushes, leaving you feeling lost and frustrated. In my course, the narration is calm and slow-paced, allowing you to follow without hitting the pause button after every sentence. However, should you feel the need to use some extra time, you can pause the video or replay the checkpoint as you please.
