Speaking of palettes, I also keep the scratchpad on and put my “pure” colors there. It’s rather like dipping your brush in water, or dabbing it on a paper towel, or adding more “pure” colored paint on your palette. It may sound like a hassle that will interrupt your workflow, but it’s not really a big deal. Also, as you add more layers of acrylics, the canvas texture gets covered over, another reason for not setting canvas as the bitmap. This is why I didn’t set the bitmap to canvas. And when you don’t need it, you can set it to 0 or no texture. Keep it low, around 10, and you’ll achieve the look shown next to Round Large in the picture shown. Also, for a drier look, you should set the bitmap as noise. In order to achieve the exact “property” of acrylics that you want as you work, you must manually adjust the blending, dilution, and persistence. Those who’ve used acrylics know what I’m talking about. Acrylics have great covering and blending power, and are able to have a watercolor-y transparent look.

I’d like to explain how to use these brushes in order to achieve the most realistic look. Sorry to those who would prefer oils, I’ve only used acrylics on canvases. I made each size and shape separate because 1) I’m lazy and 2) having separate size/shape brushes feels much more realistic than having one brush. I’ve been making lots of custom brushes on Paint Tool Sai and decided to share it to the world! These are acrylic brushes that I created.
