Canvas Size Used: 3800×2800 Pixels
BRUSHES USED
Brushes in this tutorial are from my Gouache Paintbox brush pack
- Sky background, clouds, hot air balloon shading: Thick Sticky and Thick Sticky Blender
- Hot air balloon shapes: Painty Round
- Birds: Detail Liner
I created this set of gouache brushes to replicate the unique style of midcentury-era illustrators such as Mary Blair. These illustration brushes feature loads of randomized texture to give the effect of real gouache paint on a brush. Brushes have built-in inconsistencies, resulting in a very natural, hand-painted look.

I LOVED this tutorial! I’ve been using Procreate for a few years now, but I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas and expertise! 😀
This was fun. Although, I wasn’t happy with my clouds. They were my memorist.
