Paint a Fall Wreath in Procreate

Let’s get to this week’s tutorial! Today, we’re revisiting one of my favorites: fall wreaths! This one is a little different because we’re making an asymmetrical, semi-filled wreath and keeping plenty of room for some lettering in the middle. Together, we’ll create our sketch layer and plan out our foliage-focused wreath, then paint over it with lots of fun, fall-colored elements. We’ll finish it off with intertwined branches + lettering, and we’re only using one brush set for all of it (my paid set of watercolor illustration brushes, but feel free to use any you’d like). This is a beginner friendly tutorial that’s easy to customize + make your own!

Pin it for later!

Here’s a written overview of how to paint a fall wreath in Procreate:

Give yourself a guide for your wreath by drawing a circle, hold it, and then it will snap into place.
Create a new layer to sketch out your plan for what everything will look like. You can do this all on one layer or separate the elements out onto individual layers.
Start painting in your fall foliage by switching through various different colors with the medium paint round brush.
Connect everything with your common branch and draw in the stems of the different leaves too.
Fill in the rest of the wreath with supporting elements to fill in the background. Draw in loose freehand branches, leafy symmetrical branches, and some pointed oval leaves.
Using your round liner brush, loosely hold your pencil while drawing in your intertwined branches.
Pop in your lettering with the round liner brush and write out your quote. Turn on your drawing guide to help write in straight lines.
Done!
