Free Photoshop Brushes
This is a collection of free Photoshop brushes I found on the Internet over the time. Most were posted on designfruit.com.
1. Choice Spring
A tribute to the beauty of spring, this set of brushes was designed by callmereal, using as inspiration some sketches by Lori Sartin.
2. Japanese Foliage
Inspired after japanese-style prints, this set is the creation of Jason Gaylor.
3. Fresh Foliage High Resolution Brushes [Part I]
Superb foliage brushes by Jason Gaylor. They’re high resolution so you can use them for print also.
4. Fresh Foliage High Resolution Brushes [Part II]
Also the creation of Jason Gaylor, this brush set is intended for prints, as they are high resolution (1800+ px).
These brushes will be useful in our Photoshop training program. The Photoshop training Chicago classes give you a hands-on experience to Adobe’s flagship product. We also offer other software training like Access training too.
