Acrylic & Gouache Procreate Brushes
Updated July 2026
Acrylic and gouache Procreate brushes for iPad. Realistic paint feel for digital painting.
Brusher has 2 acrylic gouache Procreate brush packs — acrylic, gouache, mixed media — each a native .brushset that installs into Procreate in one tap on iPad.
Acrylic and gouache Procreate brushes bring the flat, opaque, matte quality of body colour to the iPad — the bold, graphic coverage that illustrators and designers love. Unlike translucent watercolor, these brushes lay solid, vibrant colour that covers what's beneath, so you can paint light over dark, build crisp shapes and get that punchy, poster-like finish gouache and acrylic are known for.
The collection covers flat and round acrylic brushes, gouache brushes with a matte chalky finish, dry-brush textures, and blenders tuned for opaque media. It suits illustration, character art, editorial work and bold, graphic painting.

Acrylic & Gouache styles
Painting with opaque colour
The freedom of gouache and acrylic is opacity — you can paint light shapes straight over dark ones, correct as you go, and build in any order. Lay your base shapes flat and clean, then add highlights and details on top with confident, opaque strokes rather than glazing. This is the opposite of watercolor's light-to-dark discipline.
Gouache dries to a matte, slightly chalky finish and suits flat, illustrative work; acrylic can go glossier and thicker for bolder texture. Keep a limited palette, mix your colours deliberately, and use a dry-brush pass for subtle texture where you want the surface to show.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between acrylic, gouache and oil?+
Gouache is opaque, matte and water-based — flat and graphic. Acrylic is also opaque but can be glossier and thicker, holding more texture. Oil is the richest and slowest, with visible buttery strokes and heavy impasto. Gouache suits illustration, acrylic suits bold colour, oil suits painterly rendering.
What are the best gouache brushes?+
Flat and round brushes with a matte, slightly chalky finish are the core of a gouache set, backed by a dry-brush for texture. Because gouache is opaque, choose brushes that lay solid, even colour so you can paint light over dark and build clean, graphic shapes.
How do I mix media in Procreate?+
Keep each medium on its own layer and lean on their strengths — opaque gouache or acrylic for base shapes, translucent watercolor for washes, textured brushes for grain. Because digital layers don't physically interfere, you can freely combine media that would be tricky to mix on real paper.
