Hey Y’all, Here is something really new. I just noticed that Corel Painter has a new product available,. There are nine different brush packs created by professionals in specific fields. All look very interesting. Don’t have Painter 2015, no problem, six of the sets are compatible with Painter X3 and 12. Three of the sets are particle brushes and those, of course, are not compatible with versions earlier than 2015. Free involver 3 sasha rar programs.
I haven’t downloaded and played with any of the brushes, but I will. I’m reviewing them now to decide what I want to buy.
There is a watercolor set; I must have those. 🙂 I am very curious about the Particle sets, so I am sure I will try one of those. OKgo check the out. As soon as I download one and give it a try, I’ll let you know what I think. Hey Scott, I’ve delayed answering because I am unsure how to proceed. Your question is very broad and there are lots of avenues you could take and many, many brushes that would probably do the job.
Rather than try to find a brush for you, let me give you a couple of pointers and maybe point you in the right direction. I suspect that Rembrandt’s backgrounds were thin, but I do not know this for sureI guess I am saying that I would not work with impasto in the background. Impasto or build up of paint traditionally happens on the highlights. Many folks have very good brushes out thereKaren Bonaker, Tim Shelbourne, John Lowther, Helen Yancy, Marilyn Sholin and Heather Michelle to name a few. If you want to work with my brushes, I think I would say use Bristly Dabs or Buttery Oilswith a preference toward Bristly Dabsuse the ones that do not have impasto. But, you could also get pretty good results with texture overlays.
Heather Michelle and Malissa Gallo both have wonderful texture overlays. I’m sure there are others who produce very good brushes and overlays, who I am forgetting at the moment. I hope this helps, skip. Oh goshI wouldn’t be able to paint. I have two art pens. When I am working primarily with two brushes, which I find I do often, I select one variant for one art pen and the other variant for the other art pen.
(This works with grip pens, too) The pens remember what variant you were using, and unless you go back to the Brush selector with that pen and select another variant, it will not change to another variant. That means I can have two pens in front of me and can pick the one up that I want to useit seems quicker to me and more natural. And, remember those colored rings that come with the pens. You put those on the pens so you will be able to tell at a glance which pen is which. It’s really pretty awesome.
Thanks for your support, likes, and kind comments. For a minute, Skip, I thought you were going to tell me you can paint with your left and right hand at the same time! That would be handy (bad pun).
I did go hunting again and did find that art pen. I only have one art pen but i have about 3 standard grip pens too (for all the Wacoms in my past). And in all that time, I never even tried to use two pens simultaneously.
Well, at least not on purpose! Of course the colored rings make sense now. You are so right that it would feel more natural. When I draw on paper, I often find myself with 3 or 4 pencils, pens, markers. I guess I could actually use 3 or 4 hands.
Thanks for that great tip. I’m going to give that a try. As a side note, I loved your watercolor paint chips videos and want to do that not just for color, but also for brush strokes. It’s such a meditative activity. That’s too funny, Regina; I can’t paint with both hands, but I can manage using both feet. I’m glad you found your art pen. I had some extra nibs and can’t seem to locate them.
I’m fond of the hard plastic pointed nibs. I wish I lived closer to Northern Virginia. I would love to join your sketching group at the Smithsoniansounds wonderful.
There are a number of groups in Atlanta and I’m not too far from there. It would be fun to take my Surface Pro 3 with Painter and do the session digitally. Glad you enjoyed the paint chip video.
I don’t usually make brush stroke samplers, but Tim Shelbourne makes wonderful ones. Thank you for your wonderful note, Skip.
Hi Donna, Sorry for the delay in replyingi am out of town and not able to monitor easily. There are two possibilities. The first is the easiest. When Painter crashes it tries to save your file for you. Painter will create a folder in your documents called Painter 2015 Recovered Files. Find that folder, if you are lucky you will find your file there. In my experience Painter recovers the file 95% of the time.
If you do not find the folder or your file, look and see if you can find a.temp with the same name. If you find one, change the.temp extension to.rif. That has worked for me some of the time. Hope this helps, Skip. Hi Dave, Sorry for the late reply; I have been out of town. I see you have a Mac.
I am not a Mac person, so telling you where to find the files is somewhat problematic. I have explained where the files are located in a previous post, though. You can find that post here:.
Go to the link and read the part about the path to the user files. That will tell you where the files are located. Once that is done, if you will search my site for other information about brush installation and management, I believe that you will find all the information necessary to recapture your brushes. If you are still confused, please let me know and I’ll see if I can help.
Hi Skip, I have Painter 2015 and love the particle brushes. First a comment: I often find myself painting on a layer and after a number of strokes, I want to clear the layer using my Wacom tablet. This is much faster than using undo.
I came up with a method to program a tablet button. Maybe you have covered this in the past but if not, I could give you the method to publish here. (contact me by email if you like). This clears the layer and does not delete it.
Second is a question. I have created a number of new Particle brushes that look pretty good. How would I go about selling the pack without creating a website?
Corel seems to be selling their own and its not an open marketplace. I would be willing to split the selling price with the website owner. Just exploring the idea.Ron. Hi Ron, I have discussed clearing a layer using shortcuts on my Wacom Cintiq, but the same concept could be used on any of the Wacom tablets.

You can find it here:. LOLI think there are 9 videos covering the subjectway more than the average person wants to watch. Anyway, I set up one of my express keys with Ctrl + A + Backspace, for my PC. For a Mac, you would use Cmd + A + Delete. But, there are many ways to skin a catso your solution may be different from mine. I am not sure what to tell you about selling brush packs. You could contact any of the folks who do sell packs and see if they are interested in selling yours.
I don’t sell anything, but I am working on another web site that may have the ability to sell stuff. I hate to do it, but I seldom get donations and the costs of running a blog is risingsigh.
I’m hoping I will never have to sell, but that may change. Wish I could give you more information, but I’m afraid I don’t have the expertise. Hey Ron, Actually on a PC all you need is Ctrl + A + Backspace. You do not need to do Ctrl + D to remove the Marquee, it is removed automatically with that sequence. If however, you have added a shortcut key to Clear and use that, you would need to do Ctrl + A + Clear + Ctrl + D. I have added a bunch of shortcut keys to Painter so that I can use my radial menu exclusively. But, I started running out of keys to use.
Since Ctrl + A and Backspace are already available to use with Wacom, there was no need to program a shortcut for Clear. And, as mentioned before, on a Mac, all you need is Cmd + A + deleteand again the marquee is deleted with the sequence. If you find it works differently, please let me know. Thanks, Skip.
I am always updating and refining my personal Painter brush library. Today I would like to share with you. Inside you will find many brushes that are brand new, or have been modified to use new technologies within Painter 2016. This brush library features tools I find particularly useful for comic-book art creation, as well as general sci-fi/fantasy illustration style work. I hope these brushes will be as useful to you as they are to me, and will provide some insight into ways you can get more from the Painter 2016 brush engine.
