How do you get a dry / clean brush? (considering upgrading, using trial version)
Darv
I'm tyring to figure out how you can smear the colors already on the canvas
without adding more paint. Ideally looking for a hot key that you could
hold down while making the stroke. Would appreciate the assistance.
Thanks

Use a blender from the brush category list. The smudge is a good one.

A Palette Knife would also serve this purpose.

Hi...I've been meaning to ask a question of the group ever since trying out
the trial Painter 9 version when it first was available. Applying "oil
paint" with the "bristle brush" selection from the "oil brush" category of
tools and then using the oil palette knife to blend gave a strange result.
The brush marks left by the original application of oil paint remain and
only the color is moved about and blended by the palette knife. It gives a
look like the mixed colors had been applied over a dried textured ground.
Just curious if anyone else had experienced this and had an answer. Alas
my trial time ran out before I could figure it out. A pity Corel doesn't
make the trial for X number of hours used instead of elapsed days from
download because in my case pressing business allowed half the trial time
to expire without being used.

You have to use the Artist Oil Impasto variant palette knife.

OK Thanks I'll make a note of it for when I do get PIX.

Let me see if I got this right (translating names):
Darv was using The Artists' Oils' Bristle Brush variant to paint, then
getting poor results using the Artist's Oils' Wet Oily Palette Knife to
smear the Bristle Brush brushstrokes. Only the color was smeared, and
the Impasto depth and lighting remained where it was.
Tom advised Darv to instead use the Artist's Oils Impasto Palette Knife
to smear color and Impasto depth and lighting on brushstrokes made with
the Artists' Oils' Bristle Brush variant.
Is that right?
It can get pretty confusing when we don't have the software to look at
and then use the correct names. In this instance, because there is no
Bristle Brush variant or Oil Palette Knife variant in the Oils' brush
category.
Just wanted to get it straight for others who may be reading this thread
and might run into the same problem.

Hi ... Sorry, you're right of course, I should have posted the question
when I had the trial version at hand and could accurately name the tools
I used. This group has been very helpful for me and I feel badly at
having posted misinformation. I read the suggestion for using the knife
and it reminded me of the problem I had and thought, "aha!" now's the
time to clear up that little glitch I experienced. My goof. When I do
have Painter 9 I'll repost correctly. Regards, Nick

Nick,
No need at all to feel bad. Your question was a good one and Tom's
response will be helpful to others. As mentioned earlier, I just wanted
to get the brush variant names straight so anyone reading this thread
will know what they are.
It's perfectly understandable that you didn't recall the exact names.
It's hard to remember them even if we do have the software installed.
Thanks again for posting your question.
