Ethically generate AI concepts and use them to inspire gorgeous, original paintings in Procreate
This is where you have the permission to paint in unexpected color palettes
We’ll develop unique color pairings you can easily color sample and apply.
Where you create touchable texture
With the included Acrylic Lovers brush set, all the texture you need is just a tap away
Where you develop pop-off-the-screen depth illusions
Following a few simple steps, you’ll be equipped to apply illusion-quality depth to any element
AI is for the birds. Err, florals?Ok, ok! It’s both.
Generate Concepts
We begin by ethically generating AI concepts using only words to guide it. This means the images aren’t based on any artist’s style – they’re made from what AI thinks looks good from the words we give it.
Curious how AI image generation works?
RemixRemixRemix
Once we have a concept we like, we then mix it with additional, custom text prompts. This creates a highly unique concept, void of any specific influence and tailored to your imagination.
Custom Composition
We bring our final concept renders into Procreate, along with real reference images. Combining different elements from the different renders, we create an original composition sketch.
Paint!
We paint our composition from scratch using different brushes from the included Acrylic Lovers brush set and sample our favorite color combos from our AI renders.
Finishing Touches
We finalize our custom paintings with unique brush stroke overlays, background textures and long shadows for a fully layered, gorgeous piece!

Class projects
Let’s create something magical together
Included are 3 in-depth, comprehensive projects to master the fantasy style
Everything you need to create each project is included, along with full step-by-step HD video instruction.
Fantasy Blooms
Project 1
We dive right into the fantasy floral style with a gorgeous bouquet! Following a 3 step painting process, we sketch our composition, then paint from scratch: color blocking, adding detail and then highlights. We use several blending techniques and cover the differences between petal blending vs.leaf blending. As a beautiful finishing touch, we use a unique method for adding soft long shadows and introduce a background watercolor texture to push our final artwork forward.
Fantasy Bird
Project 2
Master the fantasy painting style applied to a bird in Project 2! While the process is similar to florals, we’ll use one of our bird pose stamps and pay extra attention to texture differences, referencing a real photo often. We’ll keep color patterns within the bird accurate to real life, but bring in a fantasy color palette. To further maintain the fantasy aesthetic, we’ll use several different wet and dry brushes to simulate touchable texture and blend as needed (hello, Feather Smudge!).
Fantasy Bird + Blooms
Project 3
Project 3 combines the skills built from Project 1 + 2 with a full bird and bloom composition! We create our custom composition by combining different elements from two different renders, along with a bird pose stamp. Beginning with the bird, we go step by step, painting each element together throughout the project videos. Every step is described in detail, so you’ll be confident painting any bird + bloom composition you can imagine after completing the course.
Bird Drawing Exercise
In this module, we sketch a bird from scratch, utilizing a reference image + bonus bird anatomy cheat sheets. Together, we follow an exercise that can be adapted for any skill level and adjusted as you improve.
Goldfinch Project Walk Through
Once our projects are complete, I walk you through some previously created projects of mine, showing all of my layers and discussing how I built my compositions. I also made the reference images available for your use if you’d like to create them.
European Robin Project Walk Through
We talk through my European Robin piece in the same way we went over the goldfinch piece, so you’ll have all the info you need, along with the same reference images if you’d like to recreate it in the future.

Hey! I'm Teela
and since 2014, my mission has been to make it easy for anyone to create beautiful digital art, no matter their skill level.
To date, I've helped over 250k creatives build upon their digital skills and my tutorials on YouTube have accumulated over 22 million views.
As AI becomes a more permanent fixture of our future, as creatives, it’s easy to shy away and condemn it for automating a process we hold so sacred: making beautiful art. But there’s an alternative path we can also take: using it ethically to help us improve as artists.
By generating images using only words, we’re able to create gorgeous, style-agnostic images with color palettes and compositions we may not have thought of before – pairing different elements we’d never think to pair.
Using those renders to inspire a unique composition we sketch and then paint from scratch, we’re able to create something original from our imagination; a hybrid that uses AI for good. This creates limitless possibilities for our future artwork – an exciting path that embraces new technology and an ethical process artists can support.
