Advanced Watercolor
Knut
need help to find books or tutorials, which describe the implementation of
special watercolor techniques (backruns!!, drybrushes, granulation, ...) to
Painter 6.
Thanks,
Knut

I posted this on the alt.fractal-design.painter newsgroup also:

Try Karen Sperling's Artistry CD's.
The Artistry Painter 6 Tutorials CD has some tutorials using watercolor.
There are other Artistry CD's too, that you might also want to check
out:
Another watercolor tutorial:

Though I'm not a watercolor expert myself, I've read other artists
comments on the subject and they often say that they use various other
Painter brush types, not just the Water Color variants, to create a
watercolor painting.
Experiment with various brushes, all of which but the Water Color brush
variants can be used on Layers (Water Color doesn't work on a Layer), in
combination with Water Color brushes used on the Canvas to see what you
can come up with. Painter offers so many default brushes and variants,
and allows you to create endless numbers of custom brushes, vary color,
opacity, degree of paper grain (texture), and so much more. You should
be able to get any effect you want.
Also, try using Composite Methods: Paint on a Layer, then in the
Controls:Adjuster palette, try several Composite Methods from the drop
down list to see how they affect Layers and the Canvas below that Layer.
Hope this helps,

Also, I've got the disk for Classic that came with the tablet but never
installed since I already had 5.0. I haven't located a version number, although
1998 is on the disk. The info only mentions Win95 & NT, the same as 5.0,
another bad sign. Am I going to have to choose between Win95 & buying 6.x?
Thanks,

I've been using Painter 5 for years on Win98 without more than the
normal irritations like running out of RAM for instance.. which is my
system's fault, not Painter's.
I can't suggest anything to fix your problem but maybe someone else can.
Just wanted you to know that it can work on Win98.

Painter is great, the water colour brushes are great, but they are a
different medium and you will be very disappointed if you expect to produce
watercolour paintings in Painter. Many of the techniques available to the
watercolourist are not reproducible in Painter and certainly not with the
subtlety of the real thing. However Painter's attempt at reproducing them
gives something else that looks good too.

using only Painter's Water Color brush variants. They use other brushes
and adjust them to get the look of watercolor.

Painter version really 5.0? Perhaps you need the patch to 5.03 or as others
have mentioned, updated Wacom drivers. I recall that Wacom had to put out
some new drivers when Win 98 came out because the old ones didn't work. I
can't remember exactly what the problems were.
There are at least 2 possible solutions for you to check out.
