■ The set now contains 87 brushes:
For ease of navigation and use, I have divided all the brushes into the following categories corresponding to the painting work stages:
-
🔘 PreDRAWING, 5 brushes — for outline sketching stage + the very first brush for imprimatur or adding/enhancing the common texture of the canvas;
-
🔶 OnCANVAS, 15 brushes are expressive and relatively thick with a pronounced peeping canvas texture. Suited best for the first stages of work, sketchy blocking, and energetic painting;
-
🟪RELIEVO, 12 brushes — for applying rough, expressive paint textures on canvas;
-
🟩MASTICHINO, 14 brushes — imitate palette knives and their work;
-
🟡VOLUMES is the main section (22 brushes); these brushes are universal and for all stages of painting, such as sketching or speed painting, blocking out main volumes and color/mass relations, and fine finishing and modeling of shapes and details. Some pasty thick-paint brushes. You want to try them all to find the most convenient ones for a particular type of work. The designations of subtypes indicate the brush features: 🟡 — universal round/filbert, 🟠 — rounded with increased relief, 🟨 — flat brushes.
-
♦️ IMPASTO (19 brushes) makes a particularly thick, pasty, embossed stroke. This group complements the previous VOLUMES category and can be considered a its continuation. Brushes with a double ♦️ icon at the end of the list have particularly thick strokes in the style of Daubism.

I definitely recommend it. If you are searching for oil brushes for Procreate, look no further.
I like to purchase and use many different brushes even the ones i create, specially for oils and watercolors. This is, by far, the most realistic for Procreate. It’s not as easy to use as other brush sets; however this also happens when you use apps with ‘impasto’ effect, you just can’t add impasto over and over, you need sometimes to lower that impasto, or paint ‘thin’. For this reason, i recommend to use it alongside with more ‘flat’ or ‘less textured’ brushes, or just paint and smudge. To emulate ‘thick paint’, Zakirov uses a technique i’ve seen in other bush sets. This is not real impasto, is just color/hue shift thanks to the dual-brush engine in Procreate. Despite not being ‘impasto’, it’s very effective, pretty interesting results. However, some brushes are way too intense (i mean the ‘hue’ effect), and produce way too unexpected colors (intense reds or blues, pure blacks, pinks, greens). Despite that, this is the most well made brush set with this kind of effect. Zakirov released another ‘perfect oils’ brush set for Phtotoshop, time ago. Both brush sets are very different. This one (the Procreate one) is much better IMO, more textured and realistic… also much more fun.
