Working on your practice file, enjoy exploring brushwork with the different Useful Mixer Brush Combinations settings.

With the Very Wet setting, less pigment is applied, with more blending. Using the same magenta color, paint a new vertical patch of magenta that overlaps the cyan paint. With the Moist setting, the brush applies less color and blends like moist paint. Next, choose Moist in the Useful Mixer Brush Combinations menu, and paint a second vertical patch of magenta color over the cyan. Using the Dry setting, paint a vertical patch of color that overlaps the cyan stroke. After you've painted the cyan stroke, choose a new color in the Swatches panel (I chose pastel magenta). Using the cyan color and the Flat Blunt Short Stiff preset, paint a wavy horizontal brushstroke along the top of your image.

In the Options bar, make sure that Dry is chosen in the Useful Mixer Brush Combinations menu. My file is 800 × 600 pixels.Ĭhoose the Flat Blunt Short Stiff preset, and then increase its size to about 30 pixels by using the Size slider on the Brush Presets panel. Open a new file by choosing File > New, and set up a small file to practice with the brushes.

Click a color to paint with it (I chose dark cyan). Next, if the Swatches panel is not in view, open it by choosing Window > Color > Swatches. The Dry setting is chosen in the Useful Mixer Brush Combinations pop-up menu.
