About the product
Painting with watercolors can feel infinitely satisfying and effortless, and we wanted to make it real for digital art. All their peculiar features — like gradients, translucency, blooms, and fluid interactions between pigments and water — should have been captured as realistically as possible and brought to the artboard. It was quite a provocative task, but we liked the difficulties. We've teamed up with talented Kristina Vorotnikova to explore the alchemy of watercolor craftsmanship and make an extensive toolkit for those who prefer digital canvas to cotton paper.
Inspiration followed us across Pinterest, DeviantArt, and Instagram, so we aimed to assemble a vast array of brushes to meet the needs of artists working with different techniques. The Watercolor Journeys collection will suit minimalist and abstract art, botanical and floral watercolors, modern portraits, atmospheric landscapes, quick sketches, mixed media, typography, illustrations, and industrial art. It features 30 strokes and 20 stamps, mimicking all possible watercolor taps, from rigger brush's thin lines to paint splashes.
Art of the Watercolor Journeys
“The watercolor brush set is one of those absolute basics, so I wanted to create something top-quality that you could use over and over again. The team at Brushapes threw in the idea of making it versatile enough for everyone—whether you’re a pro illustrator with high standards or just someone looking for a couple of nice washes for a background, packaging, or a collage. I loved the concept, and I hope you’ll vibe with the final selection too.”
The versatility of strokes isn't the main advantage of the Watercolor Journeys, though. They behave as fluidly as regular watercolors do. This means they layer naturally upon one another, with lower layers subtly showing through — the control over transparency and blending is fascinating. When scaled or applied to large areas, the brushes use high-resolution textures to maintain realistic details. And yes, they allow soft, feathered, or uneven edges as pigments seep into paper fibers. Just as if you dip a brush into water and lay a stroke over the rough surface.

They’re ideal for creating artwork that requires soft textures, natural gradients, and an organic aesthetic. E.g., portraits, botanical illustrations, landscapes, abstract art, and lettering.

Watercolor drawing is characterized by its soft, fluid textures, transparency, and ability to layer colors seamlessly. Colors merge naturally to create smooth transitions, and the depth is built with transparent layers of pigment.
