Letting Media Pool
Corel Painter computed brushes allow
media to build up or “pool” when you
move a brush slowly. Pooling creates
very realistic strokes, especially with
airbrushes.
You can also cause media to pool by
simply touching and pausing with the
selected brush. You can enable this
feature in the Brush Creator.
To enable media pooling
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Spacing.
2 Enable the Continuous Time
Deposition check box.
Note
•
When this option is disabled, you must
move the brush (even just slightly) to
cause media to be deposited.
Using an airbrush, paint pools when pausing a
stroke for 1 second, 4 seconds, and 7 seconds.
Making 360-Degree Strokes
There are no restrictions on bearing
(stylus direction) in Corel Painter.
This lets you create full 360-degree
strokes by completing the arc of a
stroke, without interruption. This is
true for non-computed brushes.
Computed brushes use bearing, with
the exception of those that use the
Rendered dab type.
Painting with Color
Before actually painting, you must
choose what media to apply. Most
often, you’ll probably choose to apply
a color, but selecting a color is just the
beginning. Corel Painter offers a
powerful range of color features,
including random color variability
