    I have purchased a few of your sets and love them all ❤️❤️ but I’m not familiar with adding your paper backgrounds. My question is my paper size is 12×24 how can I change the size of your paper templates? Is that even possible?

      Hi Jennifer, so glad you’re enjoying the brushes! The best would be to rather add your final artwork to the pre-made Canvases included and not the other way around, ie. don’t add the Canvas textures to your completed artwork but rather work in the pre-made canvas or import artwork into the pre-made canvas. If you’d like to enlarge the Canvases, I would recommend not increasing them more than 140% which should be close to the size you need. If you do enlarge them, definitely do all your size adjustments BEFORE you start painting or adding artwork to the canvas. To increase the size, you can use the Crop and Resize in Procreate, then make sure you have Resample canvas ON before you enter your new measurements. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

    Hi Lisa!

    I just wanted to thank you for these fabulous brushes and tutorials. I have bought other watercolour brush packs in the past, but none compare to yours for realism and detail. And your tutorials are *so* helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

    I wonder if you have any other watercolour tutorials for purchase?

    Warmly,
    Sarah

You can find all the AquaReal tutorials here. Hope that helps!

    Hi, Can you please make this brushes for photoshop? I want to purchase and use it on photoshop. Please reply

      Hi Mehedi,

      I wish I could transform the brushes to other apps but unfortunately the brush engine in Procreate is very different and has nuanced settings and features that other apps don’t have. These features add to the authentic look of the brushes (which takes days and sometimes weeks of tweaking and testing to achieve). So far I haven’t unfortunately been successful in converting the brushes to other apps where I’m happy to sell, I have high standards and don’t want to sell sub-standard versions of my brushes. So sorry I couldn’t give you a more positive answer! Maybe in the near future all these apps will be more compatible with each other and allow the import of other software brush files.

    Hi Lisa, I have read this comment and I am not sure if I understood. Did you mean that with a transparent png you are able to make patterns in Illustrator without tracing and vectorizing it ? You just need to embed the raster images ?
    I have watched other tutorial where you trace and vectorise your art individually in order to convert it in an ai file.
    Thank you, your tutorials are brilliant.

    Hi Jean, I prefer making my patterns in Adobe Illustrator too. I find the best way to do is to use the original raster image in the pattern and not try and trace the artwork to convert it to vector – unless you are specifically using a very limited palette and don’t mind a more flat look to your watercolour paintings. To do that, I export all my watercolours as individual elements as high-res PNG files. Then when I import into Adobe Illustrator, I embed all the elements and use them as needed in the design of the repeat tile. If you embed the images you can then drag the final tile into the swatches panel to test the pattern. If you don’t embed, Adobe Illustrator doesn’t allow you to drag it into the swatches panel. Here’s a tutorial if you need help removing the paper background but still retain the watercolour texture in Procreate. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

      Hi Be! Yes that’s correct. I import the transparent watercolour raster artwork into Adobe Illustrator to create watercolour patterns. I don’t vectorise them, but keep them as raster files. It’s important to “embed” the images to test your pattern in the colour swatch panel. If you use this method just keep in mind that your pattern design is still raster based which means you can’t scale it up infinitely. This method is just using the power and tools of Adobe Illustrator to create the pattern, but it’s still a raster file and not vector (unless you trace it of course.) Hope that helps!

    Hi Lisa,
    Love, love. love your tutorials! Amazing realistic brushes! I’m wondering if I can export the finish files from Procreate to Illustrator and making patterns out of these elements? I’m a watercolor artist and only know how to use Illustrator. I’ve been struggling a lot with incorporating my art into Illustrator to retain watercolor texture. Do you have any tutorial on how you would bring Procreate files to work in Illustrator? Thanks you so much ~ Jean

    Hej Lisa! I am so beyond thankful for this beautiful set. It was worth every penny! I have tried and purchased several other watercolor brush sets but none of them were as beautiful as this set. This brings my artwork to another level! I purchased two other sets as well and I can’t wait to play around with them as well

    You are one of the greatest artists for me and a huge inspiration. Thank you and tons of greetings from Sweden!

    Hi Lisa, I am using this brush and I like this!!! However I am not a trained artist like you so it is a bit hard to draw well. Would you mind upload some video that shows how to draw with this brush? I know you have some in your youtube channel but I don’t think it is enough for me. It would be super nice if you show your subscribers how to draw grandpa, bird and bear that I can see in this page. Thanks 🙂

      Hi Dora, Unfortunately the brushes are only compatible with Procreate. I wish I could convert them for Affinity but unfortunately the brush engine in Procreate is quite different and a lot more intricate with the settings than Affinity so I can’t get the same results I’m afraid. Sorry that I couldn’t give you a better answer at the moment. If you have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

    I just got a set by Media Jamshidi and it didn’t have any instructions about how to use. So I looked for in youtube, and I found your channel and your tutorial of YOUR brushes… And I think yours and hers brushes and the textures are so similar, I even feel weird about it to be honest. You should check … and it was sooo expensive in comparision…over $60 usd… I’d love that I could have found yours first. I wanna cry.

    Hi Lisa, I just love this set for I believe it can get a lot of work done without a the clutter of too many brushes. But I don’t own an iPad and can’t spring for one anytime soon (so no access to Procreate!). So could you please please pretty please make a version of this one (and also the texture and instant artist sets, if possible) that is compatible with Photoshop or similar softwares. Love, Anashuya

    • Avatar

      Lisa Glanz (verified owner)

      Hi Anashuya,

      I wish I could convert them to Adobe Photoshop and other apps but unfortunately I can’t get the same results in those apps. The Procreate brush library is very different and more sophisticated (in my opinion) than Adobe Photoshop and other apps and I can’t recreate the brushes to the same level of quality that I would be proud to sell. Sorry about that!

    A good art friend of mine recommended me to get these brushes and introduced me to Lisa and her work last week, and I must say, they are by far THE BEST watercolor brushes I have purchased! I own about 5 different sets too, and the ease of use and variability makes these so diverse in what you can do. Easy to use and the tutorial is very helpful to give you ideas on how you can achieve different looks for your work. Very happy, and thank you Lisa!
