For example, Pastels and Oil Pastels are now grouped together in Pastels. To keep the sheer number of categories under control, some of them have been combined. So Many Choices!Įvery new version of Painter introduces one or more exciting new categories, and Painter 12 unveils Real Watercolor and Real Wet Oil. The impasto effect can be turned off in the Navigator settings shown in Figure 1.16. But this brush, as its name suggests, picks up underlying color and smears it. Like the Fine Camel Oil, strokes show spaces between bristles. It’s hard to see the delicate dab of Smeary Bristle Spray from the Impasto category. Increased pressure makes the bristles spread out, showing spaces between them. Use a light touch for a smooth opaque stroke. The footprint of Fine Camel Oils looks like a spray of tiny bristles. Longer strokes fade out gradually, losing color but continuing to show bristle striations. Short strokes have ragged edges at the beginning and end. There is a slight variation in the size and brightness of bristles.
The green and pink dabs made with the Acrylic Clumpy Brush are squeezed ovals, like plump grains of rice. The following variants made the dabs and strokes shown in Figure 1.15.Īcrylic: Clumpy BrushOils: Fine CamelImpasto: Smeary Bristle Spray As you did with the Acrylics Wet Brush earlier, notice how strokes interact with each other. Take a couple of variants from each of those categories for a test drive. They include Acrylics, Oils, and Impasto (Italian for thick paint). There are several Painter categories devoted to bristle-type brushes. The kind of mark made by a bristle brush depends on a large number of factors: quality and number of bristles, viscosity and amount of paint loaded, and the pressure and direction of the artist’s stroke. Traditional paintbrushes can have a variety of shapes and are composed of numerous bristles that can range in length, thickness, and stiffness. For a photo of this grip see Figure 3.3 in Chapter 3, “Have Another Layer,” where you’ll use this technique in an illustration project. This imitates sketching and shading with the side of a pencil or pigment stick. It’s possible to make a very wide stroke if you change your grip so that the pen is at a steep angle. Marks made with the Wacom pen held upright are thin lines, but as you tilt your pen the lines become wider. Have you tried the Real 6B Soft Pencil yet? Look once again at the strokes in the bottom row of Figure 1.13. Buy a copy of Digital Painting Fundamentals with Corel Painter 12
