About the product
Do you share the feeling that gouache conveys serene creativity as if a brush slides over a crystal water surface? We thought it was the texture thing and came up with a solution almost straight away. We've converted gouache into digital brushes, so you don't have to host tons of hues in your studio or relocate to Tibet to comprehend their zen vibe. Instead, a complete toolbox comes with your drawing app.
Once again, we've teamed up with Kristina Vorotnikova to introduce a complete brush set that can meet the expectations of the savviest and choosiest digital artists. You've already seen her manga and anime brush series, but this time, she suggested bringing back her academic past and creating a collection to please her art school teachers. That was tough but not impossible.
Art of the Gouache Zen Brushes
Meet the Gouache Zen, a series of 12 gouache brushes. They literally started with gouache strokes on paper since Kristina wanted ultimate realism or nothing. We've also reviewed thousands of gouache illustrations made by René Magritte, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, and modern creators to ensure our collection is a workhorse, not a one-off thing. There are various textures, from watery strokes to scratchy and dry.
“They’re so soft, I just can’t. I truly wanted 100% realism, as if they’re Winsor & Newton. Gouache Zen are opaque like real gouache, so you can paint in layers. They’ve got matte finish, and are super pigmented. Plus, I remember how much it cost to restock on gouaches back in art school, wish I had digital brushes instead. ”
The collection is perfect for classical and abstract illustrations, portraits, still life, and landscapes, enabling artists to explore various styles and techniques. It's also ideal for detailed interior or architectural sketches. And, of course, it's fairy-tale and children's decorative illustrations, where Gouache Zen, with a vibrant matte finish and rich textures, can shine at their brightest, creating cozy narratives and characters.
