Authentic Canvas Texture Brushes for Procreate

Canvas is the foundation of traditional oil and acrylic painting, providing that distinctive woven texture that gives paintings their physical presence and character. For digital artists working in Procreate, adding authentic canvas texture transforms smooth digital brushwork into paintings that feel tangible and real. This collection provides professional-quality canvas textures scanned from actual artist-grade canvases, giving your digital paintings the same surface quality as traditional work.

The collection includes canvas textures ranging from fine to coarse weave. Fine linen canvas textures are perfect for portrait work, where you want a subtle tooth that doesn't overpower delicate skin tones and fine details. Medium cotton canvas textures work beautifully for all-purpose painting, from still life to landscape, providing that classic balanced texture. And coarse canvas textures deliver bold, visible weave patterns ideal for expressive, impasto-style paintings where texture becomes part of the composition.

Special attention has been paid to primed canvas textures, which replicate the smooth yet slightly textured surface of gesso-prepared canvas—the most common painting surface for oils and acrylics. For artists working in vintage or classical styles, the aged canvas textures provide that yellowed, time-worn quality that adds instant character and authenticity to period pieces or antique-style paintings.

Using canvas textures in Procreate is straightforward yet transformative. Create your painting as usual with your favorite brushes, then add a canvas texture layer on top using multiply or overlay blend mode at low opacity. The result is artwork that maintains all the detail and color of your digital painting while gaining the physical presence and authenticity of canvas. Whether you're creating portrait commissions, landscape studies, or fine art for gallery display, these canvas textures add essential realism. Download the ProcreateTools app to access this canvas texture collection and give your digital paintings authentic surface quality.
