To paint with a pattern
1 From the Brush Selector bar, choose a brush that applies media to a document.
2 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, choose General.
3 From the Source pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
• Pattern paints with a pattern containing no mask information.
• Pattern with Mask paints using mask data contained in the pattern.
• Pattern as Opacity paints with the pattern at a reduced opacity.
4 Choose Window menu > Library Palettes > Show Patterns.

6 Paint in the image.
If you have not set a clone source, Corel Painter uses the current pattern in
any operation referring to clone source colors or luminance. This means you
can paint with a pattern using a Cloner brush.
If the Source option is not available (grayed out), the selected brush can apply
color only. In that case, select a rendered brush, or choose Rendered from the
Dab Type pop-up menu.
