Gouache Zen Brushes by Brushapes

Open your supplies drawer, pick out a few tubes of gouache, and feel that irresistible urge to dive into some meditative sketching or immerse yourself in classic painting techniques. Or, better yet, skip the mess and go digital with a set of 12 exquisite brushes designed to capture the essence of gouache.

Do you feel that serene creativity that gouache brings, like a brush gliding over a crystal-clear water surface? We felt it too, and we realized it’s all about the texture. That’s why we’ve transformed the traditional gouache experience into digital brushes, so you no longer need to clutter your studio with endless tubes of paint or retreat to a remote monastery to find your zen. Instead, you can have it all within your favorite drawing app.

We’ve partnered once again with Kristina Vorotnikova to craft a complete brush set that’s sure to meet the expectations of even the most discerning digital artists. You may remember Kristina from her manga and anime brush series, but this time, she’s drawing from her academic roots to create a collection that would impress even her art school teachers. It wasn’t easy, but the result is nothing short of spectacular.

Introducing Gouache Zen, a collection of 12 brushes that began as real gouache strokes on paper. Kristina insisted on ultimate realism—anything less wouldn’t do. We also studied thousands of gouache illustrations by masters like René Magritte, Henri Matisse, and Marc Chagall, as well as contemporary artists, to ensure that this collection isn’t just a novelty—it’s a true workhorse. The textures range from watery strokes to dry, scratchy effects, giving you the versatility to create whatever your heart desires.

And here’s the best part: these brushes are compatible with all your go-to design platforms, including Affinity Designer, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate. Whether you’re at your desk or on the go, the Gouache Zen brushes are ready to elevate your digital art.
