It seems to do something more than “color bleed” – mainly blending and controlling intensity of values. I am adjusting it constantly, and wish it could be kept in view. The Color Bleed slider is the most important for me. Then turn it off and slowly start adjusting the thinner, a small change makes a big difference. More about that later.įor graded washes going from either full strength to thinned, or the other way, Start with Paper Wet to evenly coat the entire area. In this case Color Bleed is 100%, not the best for blending. Now it does blend, and will mix with the existing full strength paint. In the lower wash, Paper Wet was turned off before applying the thinned area. In the upper wash in Figure 3, the bottom half is the same color, but thinned. Wash with Paper Wet turned off, Reduced Thinners For a graded wash, or to blend in other values or colors, Paper-wet should be turned off. Once I have an area covered as I like it, I almost always turn Paper Wet off to do the rest.
But there is no blending and when you make changes in hue, value or thinners there will be defined edges between what was painted last. Strokes seem to be wider with Paper Wet too, making coverage easier. With Paper Wet off, strokes show and overlaps build on top of each other, as in the upper two washes in Figure 2. This is very important for smooth, even-value washes. But if you want to get the widest strokes for a big wash, set both to 100%. Changing pressure can affect the range of possible sizes if you have a pressure sensitive stylus and helps people fine tune their control over the brush size (especially as some people press harder than others), but if you’re getting results you like then you don’t need to change it.” Pressureįirst, how is the Pressure different from Size? Hannah’s comment: “Pressure for the brush tools just changes size. I’ll be dealing mainly with three of the tool’s settings: Thinners, Color Bleed, and Paper Wet, but will have a few things to say about the others too, except for Auto Clean which I never turn off. Figure 1 shows the standard settings for the watercolor tool. It can be set initially for the new painting, or changed at any time at the top of the layers menu, though that will not affect what has already been done. To begin, what canvas texture you use will affect your results, with the Watercolor or another smooth paper preset giving the best results.
