What Can I Learn from Art With Flo's Procreate Tutorials?

Art With Flo is a Procreate-focused learning site built around step-by-step video tutorials, and its homepage positions it as a way to "Unlock Your procreate® Superpowers!" and "BECOME A PROCREATE® MASTER." Based on the site's own descriptions and patron testimonials, you can learn four broad skill areas there: Procreate fundamentals and drawing workflow, color and general art technique, custom brush use, and completing varied art projects from start to finish. It suits self-taught digital artists who want guided, follow-along projects rather than a formal course with grades or deadlines.

Procreate basics and drawing workflow

The site's testimonials point to this as a starting point. One patron (Krista B Janssen, patron since November 2021) describes feeling "really overwhelmed with the Procreate app" until finding a "You can draw this" tutorial from Flo on YouTube, and says she "hasn't stopped drawing ever since." Another (Dustin McClain, patron since November 2021) says Flo's method "allows us to learn as we do, so I can now do so many things on Procreate without help."

That "learn as we do" framing is the key mechanic: instead of explaining tools in the abstract, the tutorials walk you through a drawing and the app's functions come up as you need them. If you are new to Procreate, expect to pick up interface and workflow knowledge by following along rather than by studying a separate reference guide.

Color and art technique

The same testimonials credit Flo with teaching "so many different things about art and color and procreate" (Teresa Henshaw, patron since January 2021). Rita Lewis (patron since October 2023), who says she has "an art background from long ago," notes that the tutorials "help me remember manual techniques and show me how to do them digitally."

This suggests the tutorials work on two levels at once: they teach digital execution in Procreate, and they reinforce underlying art principles such as color and rendering. That combination is useful if you already have some traditional art experience and want to translate it to a tablet, or if you are starting fresh and want technique explained alongside the app.

Custom brushes

The homepage lists "Enhance your procreate® projects with amazing custom brushes" as one of its main offerings. This points to a distinct skill area: using and applying custom brushes to change how your work looks, rather than only drawing with Procreate's defaults. If your goal is to develop a specific visual style or texture in your pieces, this is the part of the site to look at.

Completing different types of art projects

The homepage asks "how would you like to start?" and the testimonials repeatedly mention variety. Dustin McClain says Flo "varies the types of projects that we create, allowing everyone to find something that we enjoy," and Rita Lewis calls her "selections of art types" "varied and beautifully drawn and rendered."

For a learner, this matters practically: you can pick projects that match what you actually want to draw, and finishing complete pieces gives you a portfolio rather than isolated drills. If you learn best by completing whole artworks instead of practicing individual techniques, this structure fits that preference.

What the site is and who it fits

One patron (Kendra Barbour, patron since November 2023) describes the community as "like being invited into a warm cozy home of learning," and notes "the extra content is worth every penny" — indicating that at least some content sits behind a paid patron membership. The homepage also references "4680 patrons," so a paid tier exists alongside whatever is freely available. The materials here do not specify exact prices or which tutorials are free versus paid, so check the site directly before assuming a given tutorial is accessible without membership.

If you want structured, encouraging, project-based Procreate instruction and are comfortable learning by following along, Art With Flo covers the ground described above. If you need a syllabus with defined levels, assessments, or a fixed schedule, this format is a different kind of resource.
