I went to art school and landscapes *still* intimidated me
Watching gorgeous, realistic landscapes emerge from students my own age made me want to dissolve into their artwork rather than present my own.
But the more I simplified my process (post-art school), the more I began to enjoy creating them.
Focusing on the feeling of the landscapes I created and not my ability to replicate everything perfectly was the breakthrough that changed it all.
Beautiful landscapes don’t have to be complicated
With simple shapes, textures and a repeatable process, you can turn an idea or reference photo into something charming and joyful.
Inside Little Landscapes in Procreate, you’ll learn the essentials of landscape composition as we create 5 little country scenes together. You can follow along exactly or enjoy the flexibility to make each project your own with different element, color and texture options.
By the end, you’ll have a fine-tuned process you can confidently apply to any of your own ideas in the future.
Turn simple shapes into charming country scenes in Procreate
What you’ll learn in this course
Simple Foliage + Florals
We begin by using basic lines and shapes to form the foundation of our projects to come. Beginner friendly and easily repeatable!
Altering Color
Learn how to go off-palette and perform custom adjustments using Procreate’s color wheel.
Rough Sketching
No-pressure sketching exercises with trees as our subjects keeps things enjoyable and versatile. Learn how to use these sketches as a base to develop more complex subjects later on.
Painting Trees
We paint 4 different tree types (deciduous *and* evergreen) as mini-projects! You’ll learn how to represent sparse and dense leafy areas, bulky branches and add doodle style mark making for extra personality.
Reference Images + Usage Rights
A full video is dedicated to the specific language you’ll want to find in source photo licensing for both free and paid photos – a comprehensive usage guide to use reference images with confidence!
Simplifying Structures
You’ll learn how to take any complex structure you’d like to use in your landscapes and break it down into basic shapes, plus how to reuse it as a stamp brush in any future work!
Composition Basics
Learn how to use the rule of thirds and leading lines (with examples!) to create custom compositions, then put it to practice in the two projects that follow.
Painting Skies
We create 3 mini-projects together featuring puffy clouds and wispy clouds in a daytime sky and dimly lit clouds at nighttime!
Repurposing Artwork
Once you have digital artwork created, give it greater life beyond Procreate! Learn several ways to repurpose your work for both gifting and selling.
Class projects
Create charming country scenes filled with character
Plan, sketch and paint 5 little landscapes!
Everything you need to create each project is included, along with full, beginner friendly step-by-step video instruction.
Flower Garden
Project 1
We kick off our course projects with a flower garden packed with the foliage and florals from our practice session! We layer shadow, midtone and highlight color blocking, then add hue variation to create depth and finish it all off with eye candy mark making.
Tire Swing
Project 2
In Project 2, we use a gorgeous deciduous tree as our primary subject, layering color, texture and doodle details to create plumes of leafy branches. We complete our little landscape with a tire swing and set the scene on a country hill covered with daisies.
Windmill
Project 3
Combining skills from previous practice sessions, we focus Project 3 on a windmill, set in a flower-filled grassy field. We discuss scale, proportion, applying shadows and highlights to a complex structure and guiding a viewer’s eye through the use of color.
Country Gate
Project 4
In Project 4, we add complexity to our composition sketch, fully integrating the rule of thirds and leading lines for a balanced layout to keep our viewer engaged. We manage multiple background, midground and foreground elements, all with intentional color, texture and detail choices.
Country House
Project 5
In our final project, we combine everything we’ve learned throughout the course and create a custom composition based on a reference image! As a finishing touch, we add in a summer sky filled with pillowy clouds and alter our sun’s positioning from the reference for bright, midday highlights and tightly cast shadows.
BONUS: Big Idea List

Let’s Make Little Landscapes Together
If we haven’t met before, my name is Teela, and landscapes were something that eluded me for years, even after art school. The “wonky mess” stress was all too real 🫠
I was determined, though, and began editing and simplifying difficult elements until things started to finally come together. I added more elements slowly, choosing doodles and simple marks instead of perfect lines and details.
I ended up with landscapes that didn’t look realistic, but felt like the feelings those landscapes gave me. This editing, simplifying and relying-on-feelings epiphany led to the process I’m proud to share throughout the lessons in this course. Because beautiful landscapes don’t need to be realistic or complicated to be joyful to create and share. 💗

This course was filmed using v.5.4.1 of the Procreate app, so you’ll need to be on that version or newer to fully follow along.
