For artists who love the organic and textured feel of watercolour but crave the flexibility of digital tools, my first brush set for Procreate delivers an exceptional experience. This is an improved version of my original minimalist set—featuring expressive textures, dry brush strokes, splatter stamps, and enhanced watercolour effects. This set achieves the look of real watercolour after it has dried — soft edges, granulation, salt textures, and natural imperfections. Crafted from real watercolour textures and scans, these brushes give you authentic dried-watercolour character with effortless control in Procreate.

Whether you’re a beginner exploring the basics of watercolour or a seasoned illustrator looking for efficiency and realism, this set is designed to offer a seamless and inspiring workflow.

What’s Included

Sketch Brushes

• Sketch—Pencil: A simple pencil-style brush for planning and loose sketching, which also blends naturally into paint layers.
• Sketch—Watercolour Pencil: Slightly softer, with a watercolour pencil feel — good for outlines.

Filler Brushes

Designed for laying down colour with varying levels of texture.

• Filler—Soft: Gentle texture with a lighter, more even feel.
• Filler—Medium: A balanced brush with visible grain and natural variation.
• Filler—Coarse: Heavier texture, ideal for dry brush effects and expressive strokes.

Detail & Blending

• Details (Main): A controlled brush for smaller shapes, edges, and layered detail.
• Blender: Softens edges and blends colour while keeping texture intact.

Texture & Effects

• Effects—Sponge Texture: Adds irregular, organic texture similar to sponging paint on paper.
• Effects—Salt Texture: Mimics the grainy, blooming effect of salt on drying watercolour.

Splatter Stamps

Made from real watercolour splatters.

• Effects—Splatter 1
• Effects—Splatter 2
• Effects—Splatter 3
• Effects—Splatter 4

Wet Bleed

• Effects—Wet Bleed

This brush creates a soft bleed effect and only works when white is selected as the colour. It’s designed to be used subtly, adding the suggestion of moisture rather than a strong effect.

Canvas

• Textured Canvas (1 Large: 5000x4000px, and 1 Small: 3500x2535px)

Included with the brush set is a high-quality watercolour canvas designed to respond beautifully to each brush. This custom Procreate canvas recreates the texture and absorbency of real watercolour paper, making every stroke feel authentic and dynamic.

Designed for Every Artist

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a professional illustrator, this set allows you to focus on creativity without being bogged down by complexity. The intuitive brushes and responsive canvas work together to simulate traditional watercolour techniques—without the mess or setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this set for commercial artwork?

Yes — use it for personal and commercial projects. Redistribution of the brush set is not permitted.

Do I need an Apple Pencil?

Recommended for pressure sensitivity, but brushes work with touch input at reduced responsiveness.

Why is the Wet Bleed brush white-only?

White activates the bloom interaction with existing pigment, simulating traditional watercolour backruns.

Can I combine these brushes with my existing brushes?

Absolutely — the workflow is compatible with other Procreate brushes that support layering and transparency.
