Paint
The Amount slider determines how much paint is loaded before each new brush
stroke. The more paint you load, the longer the brush stroke lasts.
The Viscosity slider controls the rate of paint transfer to the canvas. The higher the
viscosity, the faster the brush runs out of paint, creating shorter brush strokes.
The Blend slider controls how the paint color mixes with paint already on the canvas.
High blend levels allow paint on the brush to blend easily with existing paint.
