Lost my favourite brush 36

Hi, I’m a professional illustrator who works on Photoshop. I’ve recently upgraded from CS6 to Photoshop CC. In my old version, CS6, I used to use brush 36, which looked a bit like a chalk brush but did this wonder thing where I could get both the foreground and background colour coming through so it looked a bit like smudged paint. So I could use, say, dark blue foreground and then get light pink background blobs coming through, when I pressed on the pen. This only works with a touch sensitive graphics tablet and pen. But it’s gone? I can’t find brush 36 and I can’t work out how to get both the foreground and background colours on a touch sensitive tablet. It only seemed to work with brush 36, and not with any other brush. If I can’t work it out I’ll have to go back to the dark side, as I basically, had a good thing going with my beloved brush 36...and produced some of my best work with it. Please help...thanks in advance

Hi

In the brushes panel click at the top right to get the drop down menu, and choose legacy brushes. They are not loaded by default and after loading there will be a new folder called Legacy and in that another folder called Default.

Chalk 36 is in that Default folder

Hi, it’s all sorted so a massive thank you Dave. My ‘precious’ brush 36 was there in the ‘Legacy Folder.’  In order to get this brush to have both foreground and background colour coming through I went into the ‘colour dynamics’ setting and turned on the ‘pen pressure’ setting in the scroll down menu. It really is a nice way to paint on Photoshop, as it looks like real paint. I found this advice on www.photoshopessentials.com which was really easy to follow. Cheers, problem solved, thank you
