Give your digital artwork the richness and texture of real paint with these Free 33 Acrylic and Gouache Brushes for Photoshop. Designed to replicate the natural flow, grain, and depth of traditional media, these brushes bring a handcrafted touch to your digital canvas—without the mess or cleanup.
The pack includes 33 high-quality brushes, split between acrylic and gouache styles, giving you a complete toolkit for everything from bold, textured strokes to soft, layered washes. Whether you’re working on illustrations, concept art, portraits, lettering, or abstract designs, these brushes let you achieve authentic, painterly effects with ease.
Acrylic Brushes in this set deliver that familiar thick and textured look, perfect for creating impasto-style highlights, layering colors, or adding dramatic detail to your work. They’re ideal for artists who want the punch of opaque paint without losing the subtlety of natural blending.
Gouache Brushes, on the other hand, offer smooth, velvety coverage with a slightly chalky finish—great for flat color areas, delicate shading, and retro-inspired artwork. Their semi-opaque nature lets you layer colors while keeping the richness of each hue intact.
Because these brushes are built for Adobe Photoshop, they respond beautifully to pressure sensitivity when used with a graphics tablet. That means your strokes can go from whisper-thin to bold and expressive, just like with real paintbrushes.
Perfect uses for these brushes include:
-
Digital Illustration – Create hand-painted scenes, botanical art, or character designs.
-
Lettering & Typography – Add textured brushstrokes to headlines, quotes, and logos.
-
Concept Art & Storyboarding – Build atmospheric landscapes, mood boards, or cinematic frames.
-
Texturing & Overlays – Add painterly details to photos or mixed media designs.
These brushes are a game-changer for graphic designers, illustrators, and hobbyists looking to infuse their work with the tactile beauty of traditional painting. Whether you prefer the bold punch of acrylics or the soft charm of gouache, this set gives you professional tools for limitless creativity.
Best of all? They’re completely free for both personal and commercial projects, so you can start creating right away.
