Are you ready to master the power of colour in your minimalist illustrations? Whether you want to refine your personal art style or create brand-ready illustrations for clients, Minimalist Colour Palettes: Create Stunning Brand Illustrations in Procreate will teach you how to use colour strategically to elevate your work.
In this class, we’ll explore how to create impactful and cohesive colour palettes that strengthen your artistic voice while keeping your designs fresh and recognizable. You’ll learn how to develop multiple minimalist colour palettes for a single illustration, transforming its mood, style, and brand identity with just a few colour adjustments.
To make this class as practical as possible, we’ll simulate a real-world client project — creating a custom illustration for a fictional craft beer company; Artisan Brewing Co. We’ll design an illustration for their 10th-anniversary merchandise and craft multiple colour palettes tailored to their branding and vision.
In this class, you will learn:
- The fundamentals of minimalist colour palettes – why less is more and how to make the most of a limited colour selection.
- Colour psychology & symbolism – how to create colour palettes that evoke emotion and enhance storytelling.
- Practical colour strategies – using contrast, tints, and harmonies to create depth and visual interest.
- How to develop multiple colour palettes for the same artwork – including monochrome, brand-based, and custom palettes.
- How to apply colour palettes effectively – transforming a simple illustration into a striking design.
- Preparing your work for print – ensuring your design looks perfect on t-shirts and tote bags.
By the end of this class, you’ll have a professional, brand-worthy illustration with three unique minimalist colour palettes—ready to be printed or added to your portfolio.
This class is ideal for illustrators, designers, and creatives who want to strengthen their use of colour in minimalist compositions. Basic knowledge of Procreate is helpful, but all levels are welcome!
