Stupid Easy Watercolors You'll Actually Use
Illustrator User? You're Going to Love This
I've always loved the way commercial artists from the mid-century used watercolor.
Mix water, add a dab of India ink and soak the brush. Then spread deep, textured shades across your sketches and pen work in one quick swoop.
The only problem is until now watercolor sets have been too complicated and just plain crazy.
Personally, I love to make things stupid simple whenever possible.
That's why we created InkWash. It's a set of 30 watercolor brushes made by hand in the RetroSupply studios with India ink and water.
You don't need to upload any swatches, or read a 2000 word manual to use these brushes.
Here's exactly what you get when you buy the InkWash now:
- 30 ready-to-use vector ink and water art brushes
- A display sheet with brush samples, instructions, special tips, back story and more
- Versions for CC, CS6, CS5, and CS4
- A diverse set of brushes made and inspired by mid-century commercial watercolor work.
- When we made this set, we wanted to make it as brain-dead simple as possible.
But don't be deceived. You can still add colors to these brushes and mix them up just like real watercolors.
Just click on a brush, select a color and you're good to go.
I've shared this set with a handful of my designer friends. They've all told me almost the same thing:
They had to buy 3-4 kits to get as many useful brushes as they found in this kit. And those other kits were more complicated to use!
Grab this pack now for just $19. That way you have them when you need them (instead of searching all over or hoping this one is still available).
Can I use this in paid work?
Yes. Every purchase comes with a commercial license.
Make your own art. Post it on Instagram. Take the client job. Sell the comic, the prints, the shirts. You’re covered.
What counts as commercial work?
Anything you get paid for. That includes client projects, products you sell, and work you teach with.
What if my project takes off?
Then congratulations. Your license covers you until your business passes $10 million in yearly sales. A book that outsells your hopes is still covered. So is a small brand line that finds its audience.
Who can use my copy?
You. Each license covers one artist. Working with a team? Email us and we’ll set up a group license.
What’s off limits?
Reselling or sharing the files, or using them to make your own brush packs, textures or other assets to sell. Everything else you make with them is yours.
Big studio or big campaign?
Companies with more than $10 million in yearly sales need an extended license. That includes client work you do for a company that size. Email us and we’ll set you up fast.

If you re looking for a more painterly look but dont want to use Photoshop, then look no further. I purchased 3 brush packs and my designs look great, you would never know they was created in illustrator
- KBKimberly B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat brushes!
I recently purchased the ink wash brush kit. I was looking for a way to create wavrs in illustrator for a trade show booth I'm working on. These were exactly what I needed. Awesome and easy to use!
- KBKris B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsUnbelieveable Naturalism
I love the attention to detail and clarity the Retro Supply vector brushes bring to my artwork. It's truly made Illustrator a more valued part of my production workflow.
- LELaura E.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsGood set. A little file confusion.
I bought these brushes and the folder named, "A. Inkwash" was fine. I was able to use the brushes in both CS5 and CS6.
However, the folder named, "B. Brushes" I was unable to open. I don't know what's inside the ai file in that folder. I hope it's nothing important. I can't even drag it into AI and flatten transparency because it saved without clicking "pdf compatible file" option. It's still a good set. I like the brushes. The downside of not having Creative Cloud. Oh, well.
RCRetroSupply Co.Laura, the contents in the folder you're having issues with is exactly the same as the "A. Inkwash" folder. I just created a version that could be directly downloaded into the Brush Panel. But it turned out to create more confusion for people. Botton line, you're 100% good and got access to everything.

These brushes are amazing. You can really tell the time and effort that went into them, and the best part is that they are vector! 10/10 would buy again.
