Step by Step Botanical Illustration Of A Fading Rose Branch With Blue Butterfly (In Procreate)

botanical art

In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll be illustrating a fading rose branch with a soft blue butterfly using Procreate and my Realistic Watercolour Minimalist Brush Set. This project is all about finding beauty in the quiet, imperfect details—wilted petals, muted colours, and the delicate contrast of a butterfly bringing life back into the composition.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a finished piece that captures both the softness of nature and the quiet story of a rose in transition.

If you’d like to follow the complete process in real time, the full in-depth tutorial is available on my Patreon page, where I walk through each stage slowly and thoughtfully—from sketch to final details—so you can create alongside me at your own pace.
