The Bardot Magic Brush Group contains both papers and brushes to use with Procreate.


Sweeping Wash Brush 

Sweeping wash is a soft-edged nearly transparent brush that is great for filling in large areas of color. It’s also great for a blending brush.

Brush Brush

Brush brush is a medium soft-edged brush that is semi opaque. This brush has great thick-to-thin strokes that are sensitive to the pressure of your Apple pencil.

Solid Gold

Solid gold is a nearly opaque hard-edged brush that is well-suited for details and bold strokes

Shooting Star

Shooting-star is a thin, semi-dry, nearly opaque brush that is perfect for fine details.

Lovely Locks

Lovely locks is a semi-transparent brush that is great
Pretty much water is pretty much what it sounds like. Use this over previously drawn strokes to blend or dilute colors. [I like that this works sort of like a clipping mask — it only works on marks you have already placed. It does not color ouside the lines.]Just like you would with water soften

paint over the area with the brush to lighten and brighten.

Keep in mind that the brush will lighten whatever coloyou have selected in the color picker.

if you have a different color selected you’ll see traces of that color when you use the magic brightener.

You can also use the opacity slider to control the intensity of the magic color.

Change is really fun. This brush will adjust the hue of what is already on the canvas.

To use it

turn on alpha lock on the desired layer
use the color picker to select the color you’d like to change your artwork to usethe brush to paint over wherever you’d like to change color.

Please note that this brush will not affect a value whichis lightness or darkness only hue.

The beauty of magic paper is that you can use it with any brush in your procreate collection.

You can use it with any of the built-in procreate brushes and of course magic paper works awesomely with the Bardot Brushes.

Magic Papers

The Magic Papers are not brushes You download them as image files. I am using Sediment now. It has a subtle texture. I have loaded the sediment paper file into my gallery.

I can duplicate the image and paint directly in that image. The Magic Papers are at the top of your layers panel.

Paint Beneath the Magic Paper.
