As you may know, I love pushing the boundaries of what you can do with Photoshop brushes. I've spent months tweaking and experimenting with these 3D Metallic gold brushes so that you don't have to! Simply pick a brush and start painting in dimensional, dazzling, and super refined 3D Metallic gold brush strokes. There are brushes with the texture of gold chain jewelry, tinsel, furry and velour textures, gold pavé, and so much more. You can't get gold effects like this in real life... it's PURE GOLD FANTASY! 

I’ve created a specially designed palette to work from, which lets you give the brush strokes the look of raw gold nugget, gold glitter, gold foil, metallic gold paint, rough gold texture and more! Paint in classic gold, saturated gold, dark gold, desaturated gold, warm silver, cool silver, 2 tones of rose gold, copper — or create your own metallic color palette in ANY COLOR!

Product requirements: To use this product, you need Adobe Photoshop CS6 or NEWER. If you want to take advantage of the pressure sensitive brush settings to achieve thick to thin brush strokes, you need a wacom tablet or similar, but you can absolutely use the brushes with only a mouse as well!

    Brush Note: Using the brushes with a mouse instead of pen tablet
    A FEW of these brushes will behave differently or paint a much lighter stroke if you are using a mouse instead of a pressure sensitive pen tablet. However, most of the brushes behave the same or have very small differences. One suggestion if you are using a mouse with a brush that is painting lighter is with the brush selected, go to Windows > Brush Settings at the top Photoshop menu. This will bring up the Brush Settings window and you will see all the settings for that particular brush. Within the Brush Tip Shape section that opens up automatically, you will see the Bristle Brush settings at the bottom right of the window. You can increase the THICKNESS settings and it will make your selected brush paint darker with the mouse.
