Free Hi-Res Watercolor Photoshop Brushes
I am happy to announce BittBox’s first set of Photoshop Brushes (Free). I’m constantly going back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop in my projects, and I’m starting to pretty much make everything from scratch. I often have trouble finding brushes that are big enough for what I’m doing, so I just made my own. The smallest Brush in this set is 1989px! I was limited by CS2 to 2500 pixels, so that is as big as they get. The set contains 18 brushes. Download below:

I write mostly about Illustrator in this blog, but the truth is, Illustrator is only the beggining. I usually start off in vector and almost every time end up in Photoshop when it’s all said and done. Combining the vector shapes I create with the power of some good old Photoshopping is usually how I arrive at a finished piece of work. I like to take brushes like these and add backgrounds and overlays to my shapes and Photoshop is the way to go when it comes to texture anyway. I guess in a nutshell, I use Illustrator as a parts factory and Photoshop for the glue/bolts/and paint. (if a piece of art can be in any way compared to making a car) Anyway, I’ll stop rambling now. Enjoy the brushes.
Here is a screenshot of the brush set:

Download CS3 version:
Download CS1 version:
Installation:
1. Download the file and unzip it.
2. Copy the file (BB_watercolor.abr) to your Photoshop/Presets/Brushes folder.
3. In your Photoshop Brushes palette, click on the arrow in the upper right and click on “Load Brushes.”
4. Navigate until you find the file and load it (Photoshop/Presets/Brushes/BB_watercolor.abr )
Note: The next time you restart Photoshop you will not have to load the file, it will be in the list of Brush Libraries.

Internet provides the facility of online training not only for the online certification but also for the work at home jobs. After taking online training people can qualify for the cisco certification moreover become enable to start home based business. One can also learn about the voip service and its business benefits.

Thank you so much, the set looks pretty good and artistic.. i end up in photoshop too.. a resource of photoshop/illustrator is always welcome.. :-)
Very nice, thx.
Fantastic! Cool to see that you begin to add freebies like brushes to photoshop too, ’cause that the program I am most familiar with :)
thank you man for this blog and all the stuff!
very nice, daily checked :)
Nice brushes!
Maybe you’ll share your cool photoshop brushes techniques too!
Thanks for the brushes! Show us some of your final products .. please!!!! :)
First, I love the site. I watch my RSS reader like a hawk, and when I see new BittBox feeds, it pretty much makes my day.
Second, there isn’t much that I love more than some free high-res PS brushes! Definately keep up the awesome work!

Awesome man!!! You just described the way I work. Illustator as a factory, Photoshop for the mindblowing look ;) .
That would be awesome to see a tutorial about this one.
bobdole
Once again another fine fine FREEBIE……….delicious
Awesome that you provide these :) Good stuff.
This is awfully generous of you!! I have a question though - loading up all these brushes must take a toll on how Photoshop runs, right?
Gracias!!!
I am amazed, this is the third time I come to your website. But the more I discover about your website and art work. I have only one feeling. You and your artwork is everthing that I dreamed to do. And thank you so much for putting out tutorials as well. Please keep on the good work. I just want to say I admire your work very very much.
thanks for those ps brushes. I will credit you when using them. You deserve it by far!!!

Very Nice!!!
Thank you, wait, i feel like im on a torrent site!!
For all of you who may be having trouble getting these to work in CS1, check back soon. I will be saving a CS1 version when I get home. Also, this page got dugg so you might just try re-downloading. There were a lot of people trying to download at the same time.

Just about to download your water colour brushes, Thanks. I keep trying to create water colour effects in painter but its driving me mad its so slow!
These brushes are great and all but I only have Photoshop 7 :(
Could you possibly release the PNGs so I can make them into brushes myself? That would be really awesome :)
Kat,
I will post the PNG’s as soon as I possibly can. Are you willing to offer the .ABR for all the other PS7 users?
~BittBox
Very nice brushes !! thank you
PNG Source files added to the post.
~BittBox
Yes of course :) I’ll just email them to you when I’m done?
@Kat,
If they are too large to email, you can always start a free mediafire account, upload, and email me the link. http://www.mediafire.com
