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.
