Canvas
The Wetness slider determines the wetness of the paint on the canvas. This affects how
paint from a brush stroke interacts with paint already on the canvas.
To set canvas wetness for Artists’ Oils
1 With an Artists’ Oils brush active, click Artists’ Oils on the Stroke Designer page
of the Brush Creator.
2 Do one of the following:
• Move the Wetness slider to the right to increase the mixing of brush stroke
color and existing color.
• Move the Wetness slider to the left to decrease the mixing of brush stroke color
and existing color.
You can also set how Artists’ Oil paints blend on the Blend slider on the
Artists’ Oils property bar.
Painting in Dirty Mode
Painting in Dirty Mode allows you to further replicate the experience of using artists’
oil paints in the real world. In this mode, any paint remaining on the brush upon
completion of a brush stroke is left to interact with paint loaded for the next brush
stroke. When you select another color, the brush is cleared of remaining paint.
To paint in Dirty Mode
1 With an Artists’ Oils brush active, click Artists’ Oils on the Stroke Designer page
of the Brush Creator.
2 Enable the Dirty Mode check box.
You can also enable the Dirty Mode check box on the Artists’ Oils property
bar.
Color Variability Controls
The color variability controls in the Brush Creator are identical to those on the
Color Variability palette. For more information, see “Setting Color Variability” on
page 100.
