Illustrating an Orchid in Procreate: A Quiet Practice of Observation & Watercolour

watercolour orchid illustration in procreate

Learn how to illustrate an orchid plant in Procreate using the Realistic Watercolour Brush & Canvas Set. A calm, step-by-step botanical illustration process with a time-lapse video.

Orchids wait in their places, neither seeking attention nor withdrawing from it. Their stems rise slowly, shaped by weeks of quiet growth rather than any single moment. Each bloom opens with restraint, petal by petal, as if testing the air before fully arriving. There is no urgency in their flowering. They take what light they are given, what moisture drifts their way, and transform it with patience into colour and form.

Up close, their details reward stillness—the gentle curve of a petal, the soft patterning that seems almost deliberate. They endure long pauses between bloom and rest, understanding the value of waiting. In their presence, time feels less pressing. The orchid does not hurry to be seen; it simply grows, blooms, and fades when it is ready, reminding us that quiet persistence can be its own kind of grace.

Spending time with these graceful plants encourages a slower kind of attention. Their shapes reveal themselves gradually, asking to be observed rather than rushed. To draw them is to linger—to follow curves, notice pauses, and allow the image to emerge in its own time.

In this article, I’ll walk through how I illustrated an orchid plant in Procreate using my Realistic Watercolour Brush Set, sharing a simple, unhurried process that focuses on layering, texture, and form rather than speed or perfection.

You can also watch the full orchid illustration time-lapse here:


Step 1: Sketching the Orchid Structure

Begin with Sketch – Pencil. Keep your lines light and flexible. At this stage, the goal is to place the main shapes, the central stem, the flow of petals, the overall balance of the flower, and the details inside.

Step 2: Blocking in Base Colours

Once your sketch is complete, begin laying down the initial colours.

  • Use Filler – Soft to apply light washes to the petals
  • Work from light to dark, keeping the first layer translucent
  • Establish the orchid’s main colour tones (whites, pinks and purples)

At this stage, don’t worry about details. The goal is to create a soft foundation that mimics real watercolour behaviour.

Step 3: Building Depth and Texture

To add dimension, start layering pigment gradually.

  • Use Filler (Medium) to deepen shadows near the petal bases
  • Switch to Filler (Coarse) for areas that benefit from visible texture
  • Let the textured canvas interact with the brush to create natural granulation

This layering process is key to achieving a realistic watercolour orchid illustration.

Step 4: Blending for Soft Transitions

Orchid petals are known for their smooth colour transitions.

  • Use the Blender brush sparingly
  • Gently soften edges where colours meet
  • Avoid over-blending — watercolour looks best when some brush strokes remain visible

The goal is to maintain a painterly look rather than a digitally airbrushed finish.

Step 5: Adding Orchid Details

This is where your illustration truly comes to life.

  • Use Details (Main) to paint:
    • Petal veins
    • Inner flower markings
    • Delicate speckles and colour variations

Keep your hand light and intentional. Small details have the biggest impact in botanical illustration.

Step 6: Finishing Touches with Splatter Stamps

To enhance visual interest:

  • Apply Splatter Stamps subtly around the orchid
  • Focus on background areas or lightly on petals
  • This adds a natural, expressive watercolour feel without overwhelming the artwork

Splatter effects work especially well when balanced with clean focal points.

A Quick & Easy Step-by-Step Tree Drawing for Beginners

tree drawing

Drawing trees doesn’t have to be complicated! This quick and easy step-by-step guide is designed especially for beginners who want to learn how to draw a simple yet natural-looking tree. By breaking the process down into clear, manageable steps, you’ll gain confidence and create a tree drawing you can be proud of in no time — no fancy tools or skills needed — just one I made digitally on my phone whilst waiting for an appointment!

Step 1: Draw the Tree Trunk

Start with two slightly curved vertical lines. These lines form the base of your tree trunk.

Tip: Curved lines give a more natural, organic look than perfectly straight lines.

how to do a tree easy step by step

Step 2: Add Branches

From the top of the trunk, extend a few lines outward and upward — these will be your tree’s main branches. Keep the lines thinner as they go out, and don’t worry about symmetry; natural trees are beautifully irregular!

Step 3: Add Texture to the Trunk

Add some quick, light vertical lines inside the trunk to give it a bit of wood-like texture. You can even add a small oval or spiral shape to suggest a knot in the wood.

Step 4: Sketch the Tree Canopy (Leaves)

Now, draw a large fluffy, cloud-like shape around the top of the trunk and branches. You can do this using soft, bumpy lines that form a rounded canopy. Think of drawing a large cotton ball or broccoli top.

how to do a tree easy step by step

Step 5: Optional – Add Ground or Colour

Draw a simple patch of grass or ground under the tree to ground it in space. Then, grab your coloured pencils or markers to add greens for the leaves and browns for the trunk.

Final Touches

Erase any extra or sketchy lines and darken the outlines.

Why This Method Works for Beginners

This approach keeps things simple by breaking the tree into three main parts: trunk, branches, and leaves. No complicated shading or anatomy — just basic shapes and a bit of creativity.

Drawing trees is a great way to relax and practice your sketching skills. Once you’ve mastered this basic tree, you can experiment with different styles — from tall pines to sprawling oaks.

Bonus Tips: Drawing the Branches

To draw the branches, start by sketching a long, slightly curved line to represent the main structure. Then, add smaller lines branching off from it at various angles to mimic the natural, uneven growth of real branches. These offshoots should gradually taper and become thinner as they extend outward. Avoid making them too symmetrical or straight—branches often twist and turn slightly. You can add texture by drawing small, jagged lines along the surface to suggest bark, and include tiny offshoots or buds at the ends to give it a more realistic touch. Using light pencil strokes at first can help with shaping before committing to darker, final lines.

Conclusion

Drawing a tree may seem challenging at first, but with this quick and easy step-by-step guide, even beginners can create a natural-looking tree with confidence. By starting with simple shapes and gradually adding details like branches, leaves, and texture, you’ve learned how to draw a simple tree. Remember, every tree is unique—so feel free to experiment with different styles, shapes, and shading techniques as you continue to practice. With time and creativity, your tree drawings will only grow stronger ;).

I have put together a collection of floral Procreate colour palettes that can be used with the Procreate colour picker tool.

To use them in Procreate, click on any palette from below to open a new tab with the image. Then save it on to your iPad, and add it as an image to your Procreate canvas. Then, with the colour picker tool or hex code, you can start using the exact same colour for your artwork. For details on how to do this, read the next few paragraphs. If you already know how to do this, just scroll down straight to the palettes :).

How to Add an Image in Procreate

To add an image in Procreate, start by opening your canvas and tap the wrench icon in the top left corner. From the menu, select INSERT A PHOTO and choose the palette you want to add from your iPad. Once inserted, you can resize and position the image in to a corner as needed to fit your artwork.

How to Use the Colour Picker Tool in Procreate

To use the colour-picker tool, use your finger to double-tap on the colour you want from the colour palette image. You will find that the exact colour has been selected and is shown in the top right-hand corner sample colour.

How to Import & Use Custom Brushes in Procreate

botanical illustration of an ash leaf in procreate with realistic watercolour brush set

Procreate is a powerhouse drawing app designed for iPad, favoured by many digital artists for its intuitive interface and powerful features. One of its best features is the ability to use custom brushes—perfect for adding a unique touch to your artwork.

Whether you’ve downloaded brushes from online marketplaces like Etsy, Gumroad, Creative Market, or bought one of mine, this guide will walk you through how to import and use custom brushes in Procreate.

What Are Custom Brushes?

Custom brushes are user-created tools that go beyond Procreate’s default brush library. They can simulate anything from realistic pencils and watercolour to unique textures and special effects like glitter, smoke, or even fur.

They usually come in .brush or .brushset formats:

  • .brush — a single brush file.
  • .brushset — a collection of brushes bundled together.

Step-by-Step: How to Import Custom Brushes into Procreate

Method 1: Importing from the Files App (iCloud, Downloads, etc.)

  1. Download the Brush File
    • Download your .brush or .brushset file from the source.
    • It will usually land in your Downloads folder or iCloud Drive.
  2. Open the Files App
    • Navigate to the location of the brush file on your iPad.
  3. Tap the Brush File
    • Tap the .brush or .brushset file.
    • It will automatically open in Procreate and be imported.
  4. Locate the Brush in Procreate
    • Open Procreate.
    • Tap the Brush tool (paintbrush icon).
    • Your new brush or brush set will appear at the top of your brush library, often in a new brush folder named after the file.

Method 2: Drag and Drop into Procreate

  1. Open Files and Procreate in Split View
    • Use Split View to open the Files app and Procreate side by side.
  2. Drag the Brush File
    • Locate your brush file in the Files app.
    • Drag it directly into the open Procreate canvas.
    • Procreate will automatically import it and display a confirmation.

How to Use Your Custom Brush

Adjust size, opacity, and brush settings as needed using the sidebar sliders or the Brush Studio.

  1. Open Your Brush Library
    • Tap the paintbrush icon in the top right corner of Procreate.
  2. Select the Brush Set
    • Scroll to find the newly imported brush set or brush.
  3. Choose the Brush
    • Tap the brush you want to use.

Organising Your Brushes

  • Move Brushes: Drag brushes into sets to stay organised.
  • Create a New Brush Set: Tap the “+” at the top of the Brush Library.

Troubleshooting Tips

Search by the brush name if you remember it.

File won’t import?

  • Make sure it’s a supported file type (.brush, .brushset).
  • Ensure Procreate is updated to the latest version.

Can’t find the brush after importing?

  • Check the top of the brush library.

watercolour botanical illustration green leaf procreate

The ash leaf is a beautiful subject for botanical illustration thanks to its elegant structure and distinctive details. Composed of multiple slender leaflets arranged in pairs along a central stem (or rachis), the ash leaf has a graceful, feather-like form that naturally lends itself to minimalist design. Each leaflet tapers to a fine point and often features gently serrated edges and a delicate central vein, providing just the right amount of detail for watercolour texture to shine through. This combination of symmetry, variation, and organic flow makes the ash leaf both visually striking and meditative to paint—perfect for practicing layering, brush control, and subtle colour blending in digital watercolour.
