Oil Paint Procreate Brushes
Updated July 2026
Oil paint Procreate brushes 2026 for iPad: impasto, palette knife, wet oil. Rich texture and real paint feel.
Brusher has 2 oil Procreate brush packs — impasto, palette knife, wet oil — each a native .brushset that installs into Procreate in one tap on iPad.
Oil paint Procreate brushes bring the richest traditional medium to the iPad — thick, buttery strokes that hold their bristle marks, blend wet-into-wet, and build up into impasto texture you can almost feel. Good oil brushes pick up and mix the colours already on the canvas, so painting digitally feels closer to pushing real paint than laying flat fills. Updated for 2026, this collection covers everything from smooth glazes to heavy palette-knife work.
Inside you'll find round and flat bristle brushes, palette knives for impasto, soft blenders for glazing, and textured brushes that leave visible strokes. It's built for painterly portraits, landscapes and expressive fine-art work.

How to mimic real oil paint
The soul of oil painting is visible, directional strokes and colour mixing on the canvas. Use a bristle brush that leaves texture and follows the form of what you're painting — strokes that wrap a cheek or a hillside, not flat fills. Let brushes pick up underlying colour so edges blend naturally, the way wet oils mingle.
For impasto, switch to a palette-knife brush and lay thick, opaque strokes in your highlights so they catch the light and stand off the surface. Work fat over lean — thicker paint on top of thinner — and resist over-blending; the energy of oil painting lives in the marks you leave, not in a smooth, licked finish.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between impasto and flat oil brushes?+
Flat oil brushes lay smooth, even colour good for glazing and blending. Impasto brushes — usually palette-knife style — deposit thick, textured, opaque paint that stands off the canvas and catches light. Use flat brushes for the base and impasto for highlights and accents that need physical presence.
How do I mimic real oil paint in Procreate?+
Use bristle brushes that leave visible, directional strokes and pick up underlying colour so edges blend on the canvas. Follow the form with your strokes, work thick over thin, and avoid over-blending — the character of oils comes from the marks you leave, not a smooth finish.
What are the best palette-knife brushes for?+
Palette-knife brushes are for impasto — thick, opaque strokes that create texture and physical presence. They shine in highlights, skies and expressive accents where you want paint to look built up and catch the light, adding a tactile quality flat brushes can't.
Do you have oil pastel brushes for Procreate?+
Oil pastel is a close cousin of oil paint — waxier and grainier, with a soft chalky drag. Several packs here include oil pastel Procreate brushes for that crayon-like, blendable stroke; if you want a fuller chalky range, pair them with our <a href="/procreate/catalog/pastel-chalk/">pastel & chalk brushes</a>.
