The wall every Procreate painter hits
You don't need one thousand lessons. You need eight, in the right order.
Every Procreate painter hits the same wall. They open YouTube. They find ten different intro videos. An hour later they've learned five contradictory ways to make a brush stroke and finished none of them.
Foundations is the opposite. Eight full courses. Every step shown, every brush named, every layer labelled. By the end of the first course you'll have three finished pieces. By the end of the eighth, your iPad will feel like an extension of your hand.
You don't need drawing experience.
Just an iPad, an Apple Pencil, and 30 minutes a day.
What 30 minutes a day actually does
Five finished pieces in your first month. Painting, not watching.
Every course in Foundations ends with a real piece, not an exercise. You don't watch me paint. You paint with me. Same brush, same color, same stroke, same layer.
By the end of week one you'll have a fruit study. By week two, a wildflower. By week four, five finished pieces side by side on your camera roll. None of them perfect. All of them yours.
The whole thing is built for thirty minutes a day. Pause when life gets in the way. Pick up where you left off when it doesn't.
What you'll walk away with
Four things that change everything.
Master the tool
Master Procreate's actual essentials.
Every button you'll really use. Every gesture that saves real time. The layer setup that prevents 90% of painting mistakes.
By lesson three you'll be moving around Procreate like you've used it for years.
Real subjects, not exercises
Paint things you'll actually be proud of.
Apples and lemons that look like apples and lemons. Wildflowers with petals that read as petals. A pattern tile that actually tiles. A makeup look on a real photo.
Each piece small enough to finish, real enough to share.
Everything included
Every brush, palette and source file, in the box.
150+ Procreate brushes. The same ones I use in client work. Every source file, layer by layer. Thirty plus color palettes. Reference photos and templates for every project.
Yours to keep, even if you cancel tomorrow.
Finish a body of work
Walk away with ten finished pieces.
An apple. A wildflower. A pattern tile that tiles. A makeup look. A neon scene. Five more from the eight courses, plus two complete unlocked modules.
Not a portfolio for clients. Just ten pieces you painted yourself, that look like the examples, that you'll want to post and print.
Meet your instructor
Hi, I'm Freya.
Twenty years of digital painting. My work has been featured by Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Sephora, Apple, Kate Spade and Piaget. I've taught over 80,000 people to use Procreate, including the design teams at major brands.
But the work I'm proudest of is teaching someone who's never opened Procreate to finish their first piece. That's the work that pays the bills emotionally, twenty years in.
I built Foundations as the course I wish I'd had. Short enough to finish. Long enough to actually teach you something. Every step shown. Nothing assumed.
“We loved the course because we learned many techniques for creating ultra-fast renderings, especially for jewelry, metal and natural-material textures. Meeting Freya was a great experience. She's an excellent teacher.”
What's inside Foundations
Eight complete courses, in the order I'd teach you in person.
Every step shown. Every brush included. You can start with any course, but most people do best in the order below. Your account remembers where you left off.
Two more, fully unlocked
Two complete modules, unlocked at lesson 4.
When you reach lesson 4 of Complete Foundation, two more full modules unlock. Not previews. Not samples. Full, complete lessons with every step shown, every brush included, every source file open.
Unlocks at lesson 4A realistic rabbit, sketch to finish.
By the end: A soft, short-fur rabbit ready to print. The technique transfers to any short-coated animal.
You'll paint a soft, short-fur rabbit from sketch to finish. Every step shown, every brush named. The fur technique transfers to any short-coated animal you want to paint after.
Unlocks at lesson 4A young woman, front view.
By the end: A portrait that actually looks like the person, using the drafting technique that makes every face after easier.
You'll paint a front-view portrait using the drafting technique that makes portraits look like the person. Once you've drawn one face this way, every face after gets easier.

Real student work
What happens when you learn right.
Creative breakthroughs made simple and fun.
Student stories
Real people. First finished pieces.
“I finished my first apple in one sitting. Freya showed every single step. I've tried YouTube tutorials for months and never finished anything.”
Sandra M.Chicago
“I'm 62 and thought digital art wasn't for me. Three weeks later I've painted five wildflowers my daughter wants to frame.”
Patricia L.Edinburgh
“The courses are short enough that I can do one lesson during my lunch break. No pressure, no backlog. Just small wins every day.”
Kim J.Vancouver
“I bought Procreate two years ago and never used it. This course finally got me to open it. Now I can't stop.”
Linda K.Melbourne
“I'd watched probably forty hours of YouTube tutorials before I bought this. I didn't realize what I was missing was order. Now I know what to learn next, and the next thing after that.”
Rachel B.Dublin
“My granddaughter is nine. I'm sixty-seven. We do First Steps together and text each other our daily piece. I haven't connected with her like this in years.”
Marlene H.Phoenix
Who this is for
Be honest with yourself before you join.
This is right for you if:
- You want to finish real pieces, not exercises. Every course ends with finished work, not a prompt or a demo.
- You have under an hour a day. Lessons are forgiving. Pause, come back, pick up where you left off.
- You need a teacher who shows every step. No "just lower the opacity" without showing which slider.
- You like having every tool in one place. Brushes, palettes, source files, references, all included.
This isn't right for you if:
- You want a course library that keeps growing forever. Foundations stays at 8 courses on purpose.
- You won't actually paint. Watching lessons isn't enough. Foundations works because you'll open Procreate and try.
- You want certificates. Foundations doesn't include them. Just finished pieces and skill.
- You want advanced specialisations. Pet portraits beyond a single rabbit, full portrait series, oil landscapes, salable pattern collections. Those aren't here.

Add it to your portfolio or LinkedIn to show clients and employers you've actually finished the work. Each certificate is tied to hours of hands-on practice and finished projects, not just hours watched.
Many of our students have used these as the door-opener to first commissions, agency interviews, and even full-time creative roles.
