Oil Landscape Painting in Procreate
by Freya Kotchakorn
Master the art of digital oil landscapes in Procreate with easy, step-by-step guidance. Create stunning, dreamy scenes that look just like traditional oil paintings - minus the mess, the cleanup, and the hassle.
You know that feeling when you see or think of a beautiful landscape and can't wait to paint it ... but then you sit down with your iPad and suddenly everything feels overwhelming? All those elements, all that detail, all those decisions to make - where do you even start?
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.Â
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.
I used to think that painting beautiful landscapes was all about raw talent - until I discovered that it's really about understanding a few key principles.Â
Once you know how to break down any scene into its main parts, how light and atmosphere affect color, and how to guide the viewer's eye - suddenly everything falls into place.
However ⌠while that might sound simple, getting there isnât. Well, unless someone guides you step-by-step!
This course takes years of landscape painting experience and turns it into clear, practical steps. We'll start with simple exercises that build your confidence, then move on to creating complete scenes that you'll be proud to show off.
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. Youâll paint a cliff overlooking the sea, with a meadow full of bright flowers in the foreground.Â
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.Â
Add some mist for that peaceful, early-morning vibe while experimenting with perspectives and reflections. This oneâs 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.Â
Youâll 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, weâll dive into color tricks that bring your scene to life.
â
By the end of these exercises, you'll have three stunning landscapes that not only look great but also equip you with skills you can use across any art style.Â
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.
In this course, you'll learn how to:
Traditional oil painting comes with hefty costs - easels, brushes, paints, solvents, and more. Not to mention the tedious cleanup and long drying times.Â
Plus, although beautiful, oil painting is challenging. Getting the colors right, dealing with wet layers, and cleaning brushes between colors can be overwhelming.
With digital painting, you'll get all the rich textures and depth of oils, but with the freedom to experiment endlessly.
Doing your oil painting digitally, you can:
Learning to paint landscapes does something amazing to your art skills - it sharpens your eye for color, deepens your understanding of perspective, and teaches you how to handle any composition with confidence.
Mastering this one useful skill gives you fundamental art techniques that will level up everything you create.
Whether you're creating character art, illustrations, or concept pieces, understanding landscape art will take your entire portfolio to the next level.
Beautiful landscapes have universal appeal - everyone has a favourite place they'd love to see captured in art. Your skills can open doors to:
The best part? You're building skills that never go out of style. People have always been drawn to beautiful landscapes, and we always will be.
