You can download my Smudge Brush Pack from here.Īll my brushes are FREE to use both in commercial and personal art. Use the smudge tool for even more control over the effect. You don’t need to use the full tonal spectrum either - I found that the images are more lively with a restricted tonal scale. Avoid starting with dark colors, start very high on the scale and go lower and lower gradually. Start with colors that are high in tone and add the dark shadows last. Use airy colors in your watercolor paintings. You can also use it to add interesting stains and texture to your work. The last one is for painting your occlusion shadows and small details.You have less control over it, but it’s worth the sacrifice as it adds that essential freshness to the image.


The remaining one percent wasn’t free, and it cost way more than I planned to spend on brushes without any guarantee that they’ll actually be what I am looking for. I’ve been hunting a lot for watercolor brushes back in the day, and they were always a source of frustration because 99% of the brushes I found online were just stamps of water stains on paper.

Today’s Photoshop Brushes are for achieving the watercolor effect.
