New Technique: Mixer Brush (How to get an oil paint effect)

Technique:

Hold down the paint brush symbol (black arrow at the bottom) for the option to change to the mixer brush.

Mixer brush options: at the top of the screen are a few options to change the bush too: Dry, very wet; clear brush, load brush.

Mixer will only mix with colors on the current layer, unless 'sample all layers' box is checked. This is a bad idea. Keep it on the current layer.

A few things: The mixer brush actually 'runs' out of paint, as the red mark on the right shows. You can actually not load your brush with anything and just mix. (Two box options at the top)

Note: Personal brushes can be loaded into the mixer tool.

    This was a 30 second example of what we were doing in class, only here to help show how the paint smears on the page. Please don't judge my painting ability on this!!!
