How Do You Make a Gradient Brush in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 24, 2023 @ 1:42 pm

There are multiple ways to create a gradient brush in Photoshop.

One way is to use the Gradient Tool.

With the Gradient Tool selected, click and drag on your image to create a gradient. You can also adjust the type, style, and angle of the gradient in the options bar at the top of the screen.

Another way to create a gradient brush is by using Layer Styles. To do this, first create a new layer and then double-click on it to open the Layer Style dialog box.

Next, click on the Gradient Overlay option and then click on the gradient preview to open the Gradient Editor. From here you can adjust the type, style, and angle of the gradient just like with the Gradient Tool.

A third way to create a gradient brush is by using the Paint Bucket Tool. With the Paint Bucket Tool selected, click on the foreground color in the options bar and choose two colors for your gradient.

Then, click on your image where you want the gradient to start and drag across your image until you reach where you want the gradient to end. Photoshop will automatically create a gradient between these two points using the colors you selected.

No matter which method you use, gradients are a great way to add some color and interest to your images in Photoshop!
