Gouache Brushes Tool Presets for Photoshop CS5 and CC – Natural Media Painting Pack

Bring the bold, velvety character of real gouache to your digital canvas with this premium set of Gouache Brushes Tool Presets for Photoshop CS5 and Creative Cloud. Designed for artists who crave authentic, painterly results, this collection delivers thick, semi-opaque coverage, washy blends, dry-brush grit, subtle scumble, crisp fine lines, and richly textured strokes—all tuned to feel like physical media, not generic software smudges.

Inside, you’ll find rounds, flats, filberts, line-and-wash tools, and specialty texture brushes, each crafted from scans of real art materials and meticulously refined in Photoshop. Every preset is fully pressure-sensitive and optimized for modern tablets, with behavior that responds naturally to your hand: opacity and flow build beautifully, tilt introduces nuanced texture, and stroke dynamics keep edges organic and lively. The result is a versatile toolkit that excels at illustration, concept art, comics, children’s books, lettering, and expressive sketching.

Why artists love it:

- Natural media feel: Brushes are built from genuine gouache textures for a convincingly tactile finish.

- Painterly versatility: Move seamlessly from opaque blocks and chunky impasto to transparent washes and delicate details.

- Precision control: Pressure-sensitive opacity, flow, tilt, and texture deliver intuitive, responsive strokes.

- Classic brush types: Rounds for linework, flats for bold shapes, filberts for soft edges, and grainy dry-brush for instant character.

- Ready for pro workflows: Pairs beautifully with other brush sets for a complete painter’s toolkit.

System requirements:

- A pressure-sensitive graphics tablet with current drivers (Wacom, Huion, Monoprice, etc.).

- Adobe Photoshop desktop version CS5 or later, including CC. Note: This .tpl set is for desktop Photoshop only and will not work on tablets or laptops that can’t run the full desktop version.

Made by an illustrator for illustrators, these presets were born from a simple frustration: default brushes that felt either blurry or unnaturally hard. By scanning real materials, fine-tuning textures, and rigorously testing stroke behavior, this pack captures what makes traditional gouache so satisfying—control, character, and charm. If you’re ready to paint with depth, texture, and soul, this set will feel instantly right at home in your toolbox.
