Using Paper Textures Creatively<\/span><\/h3>\n

The beauty and texture of your painting \u00a0is determined \u00a0not only by your choice of brushes \u00a0but your choice of paper texture as well. \u00a0I \u00a0enjoy creating paper textures. \u00a0I created several recently and decided to show you how this works in Corel Painter. this gives you yet another creative tool in your work. \u00a0In Painter, go to Window, select Paper Libraries. \u00a0Select a paper of your choice and from the fly out menu, select Paper Control Menu. This gives you the controls which determine the size of the paper grain, the degree of contrast and brightness. \u00a0These variables determine the look of your texture. \u00a0Below is an example of a variety of texture looks which were determined simply by the selection of paper. With each stroke made, \u00a0the brush was the same.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Simply by changing your choice of papers you can obtain this variation of results with a single brush.<\/h3>\n

Some brushes are more effective in adding grain and texture than other. \u00a0The Chalk and Pastel Variants as well as many others are very effective. \u00a0Chosing a brush which has “grain” in it’s brush controls is a good idea. \u00a0 Some brushes require the grain setting to be at 100% for best results, others are more effective at 7 % – why this is, I have no idea. \u00a0But it is important to know that if it is not one way, it is the other. \u00a0I find this to be a great feature in Painter. Play with it. \u00a0Open a blank document as I have and have fun. I made a little video so you can watch me go through the steps.<\/p>\n
