The Mid-Century Brush Pack—Designed with an Industry Icon!

If achieving that perfect mid-century style has felt impossible, you’re not alone. Our new brush pack is designed to make vintage-inspired art effortless.

So what makes bringing mid-century aesthetics to digital work such a problem?

Let's dig into the challenges and then I'll share a solution I think you'll love...

Achieving Precision and Simplicity

Mid-century illustrators relied on each line and shape to move the piece forward. Modern digital brushes often lack the refinement to capture this simplicity.

Capturing Authentic Retro Textures

Mid-century art mastered texture, from soft gouache to gritty halftones. Digital tools often fall short, producing flat, stamp-like results that lack the warmth of the originals.

Balancing Bold Colors Without Overwhelming

Artists like Mary Blair and Charley Harper made limited color palettes pop with natural media’s nuances. Digital brushes often struggle to recreate the layered richness of these colors.

Blending Different Media Seamlessly

Mid-century charm often stemmed from mixing pencils, ink, and gouache. Many Procreate brush sets lack the cohesiveness to blend media seamlessly in a single illustration.

Creating a Versatile, Fast Workflow

Time constraints were as real for mid-century illustrators as they are today. Digital brushes that require endless tweaking are a time drain, undermining efficient workflows essential for both eras.

Luckily, there's now a better way to capture the aesthetic of mid-century illustration in your work.

The Mid-Century Brush Pack for Procreate

Crafted with Brad Woodard of Brave the Woods

I'm thrilled to share The Mid-Century Brush Pack for Procreate—designed in collaboration with Brad Woodard, one of the top illustrators specializing in mid-century illustration.

Brad, co-founder of Brave the Woods, has become a good friend and partner in a wide variety of RetroSupply Co. brush packs.

Together, we meticulously developed each brush to capture the authentic mid-century aesthetic Brad uses in projects for brands like Ladybird Books, Ravensburger, and Fifty-None Parks.

Here's what makes these pack stand out:

Precision Brushes. Our gouache, ink, and pen brushes ensure clean, bold lines for classic mid-century shapes.
Authentic Textures. From grain to halftone, these brushes were made from analog samples that bring genuine warmth and character to your work.
Balanced Color Blending. Layer and blend to achieve rich, vibrant tones of mid-century palettes.
Multi-Media Flexibility. Seamlessly mix pencils, ink, and gouache in a single piece—just like they were meant to be used.
Fast, Seamless Workflow. Optimized for Procreate. This pack let's you create quickly from concept to final piece (and has been proven to work like a dream on dozens of Brave the Woods projects.).
