Is there anything more evergreen than botanicals? Trending styles may come and go, but the world of florals always has a place in art and design. You can throw them in to pretty much any art piece for an instant visual elevation. And with the flexibility and convenience of digital art on an app like Procreate, you can bring your very own botanical pieces to life just about anywhere.

If you’ve ever tried to create floral illustrations I’m sure you can relate to this dilemma:

What type of flowers should I create today? Why do my flowers not have character? Is there a different shaped leaf I can explore? Why does my composition look unbalanced?

We are addressing all this and more in this class.

Nature is the ultimate source of inspiration for botanical art. There’s no dearth of uniquely shaped flowers, leaves or berries to be inspired by. Yet, it can be overwhelming to try and recreate the stunning botanicals you see around you in all their glory.
