Texture Template fileCold Pressed Watercolor Texture Template Procreate file (.procreate)
Size5000px x 3750px @300dpi
Multiple designed layersWith multiple layers designed to interact with your artwork, it’ll give your Procreate artworks an incredibly natural watercolor appearance
CustomizationYou can customize the look and feel if you like. For a more subtle look, you can toggle off (hide) some of the layers with additional art texture on top of your painting. On the other hand you can also toggle off (hide) the paper texture and use only art texture on top of your painting
CompatibilityWorks especially well with my Watercolor, Gouache, Painterly and other brush sets
Installation guideThis guide covers different setups: on your iPad (the fastest way), from a Mac, and a note for Windows users. It works the same whether you're on Procreate 5.3 or 5.4.

This watercolor paper texture template is smooth and fine, perfect for any style of painting.

Whether you’re doing subtle portraits or wide landscapes, its softness, color variation, and crisp highlights can add that extra touch. It’s a cold-press texture, but don’t worry, it’s finer than some others you might have come across.

Frequently asked questions.

Brush licenseYours to usepersonal & commercial

The licence, plainly.

  • Use on unlimited personal projects
  • Use on paid, commercial client work
  • Don't re-distribute or share the files
  • Don't re-sell them, bundled or alone
  • Will these work on my iPad and Apple Pencil?
    Yes, on any iPad that runs Procreate. If you're picking one, I recommend the iPad Air. You'll also need a pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil (1st gen, 2nd gen, or Pro), because the brushes respond to how hard you press. The one to skip is the Apple Pencil USB-C, which has no pressure sensitivity. And since Procreate stopped supporting third-party styluses in 5.3, an Apple Pencil is your only route. Not sure which Apple Pencil you need? See my guide.
  • I'm on Procreate 5.4 and can't find the brushes.
    They're in your "Classic" library, where 5.4 keeps imported and custom brushes, separate from Procreate's own new sets. Swipe or pinch in the brushes panel to find Classic.
  • How do I get my files after I buy?
    Right after checkout, you'll get an email with the subject line "You've been granted access…" from Iva from Art Side of Life. It has your download link and everything you need to get started. It usually lands within minutes, but in rare cases, give it up to half an hour. If it hasn't turned up by then, check your spam or promotions folder, and searching your inbox for "Art Side of Life" will bring it right up. Still nothing? Get in touch and I'll make sure you get your files.
  • Can I use these commercially?
    Yes. You may use the brushes and paper textures for personal and commercial work. You can't re-distribute or re-sell the brushes and paper textures themselves in any shape or form.
  • Are these beginner-friendly?
    Yes. Start with a couple, and branch out as you grow. You can also join my membership to get access to tutorials where I use them on fun projects.

Hi ♡
meet the creator ✦

Hi, I'm Iva.

I'm a mixed media artist and illustrator. I paint with gouache, watercolors, pencils, and Neocolors, and I wanted my digital sketchbook in Procreate to feel the same under my hand. So I made these brushes. I tune each one until the digital stroke behaves like the real thing, so people often can't believe my Procreat artworks were not done in traditional way!

I built the tools I wanted when I was starting out, and I made them for you to use too, so you skip the fiddly setup and get to the fun part faster.
