This is one of the most downloaded free brush packs on Gumroad, by background painter Devin Elle Kurtz: 156 brushes for painting plants, from distant tree lines down to single blades of grass. It comes as twelve separate Procreate sets, so each kind of foliage lives in its own folder.
Everything below is taken from the files themselves. The download is on the author's Gumroad page — Brusher does not host it.
Twelve sets, by what they paint
- Grass — block in (9) and Grass — detail (16): large grass masses, glazes and ground, then blades, long grass and edges.
- Tree block in (20) and Tree texture (18): tree builders and treetops, then leaf detail for near and far.
- Evergreen trees (14): far, mid and close evergreens, trunks and a tree line.
- Jungle plants (27): tropical leaves, vines, palm trunk and bamboo.
- Flowers (23): scattered wildflowers, flower stalks, poppies and dandelions.
- Plant stalks (9), Weeds and clovers (8), Bushes (6), Ivy (3) and Leaf line (3).
Grass and ground
The grass brushes are split the way a landscape is painted: block in the big shapes of the field first, then go back with the detail brushes only where the eye lands. Several have a "follow direction" variant, so blades lean along your stroke.

Trees, near and far
Distance is built into the naming: "far" brushes give soft silhouettes, "mid" and "close" ones add readable leaves and branches. Some brushes come in a colour-jitter version that varies the hue slightly with every stamp, which keeps a canopy from looking flat.

Flowers, jungle plants and undergrowth
For the foreground there are wildflower clusters, poppies and dandelions, tropical leaves and vines, ferns, clovers and climbing ivy. They work as stamps as well as strokes, so you can tap single plants into place.
