Watercolor Fall Landscape
In this cozy little tutorial, we’re painting a beautiful fall landscape in Procreate using some of my favorite watercolor brushes. It’s super simple, super relaxing, and you don’t need to stress about things being perfect. I’ll walk you through all the steps, from building soft, overlapping hills to adding trees, leaves, grass, and even some birds flying off into a stormy sky. You can totally follow along with the free color palette I’ve left for you or mix things up with your own favorite colors. Just have fun with it!
Brushes used:
- Winkleigh

- Nowhere Else
- Bronzewing
Canvas Size:
- 2300 x 3000 pixels
Skills Learned:
- Layering hills with painterly texture
We build our landscape with soft watercolor strokes, stacking hill shapes in separate layers to create that dreamy, moody depth. - Using Alpha Lock to add color variation
With Alpha Lock on, we gently brush in lighter and darker tones to give our hills more texture, super quick and it looks so good. - Creating trees with freehand selections
Trees are made with wobbly, hand-drawn shapes, no need for precision! Then we fill them in with watercolor for that nice, loose look. - Drawing trunks and branches with pressure control
The tree trunks are drawn using pressure-sensitive strokes, so the branches naturally taper off. Super satisfying and very fun. - Finishing touches with grass and birds
A few strokes of grass here and there, plus some little V-shaped birds in the sky, and boom—your scene comes to life!
