Here is another image I painted on with the new mixer brush. I painted over one of the tulips in the BG.:) I think it's cool how you can reload your brushes and change them out for different looks.
Peter, It was easy. I just went to the brush tool on the left column and chose the mixer brush. Then on the right hand side there is a brush tool kit. I chose one of the new brushes (the fan)to start with.
At the top brush menu bar there are a few new settings. Two of the new icons(5th and 6th from the left) are for loading the brush and cleaning the brush.To do so you need to highlight them. If you don't highlight them then the brush will run out of paint-kind of. The higher the wet setting the more color that the brush will pick up. The load setting determines the quantity of color that the brush will disperse. Less paint and longer strokes will emulate real paint strokes. The mix setting determines how much paint will mix from the reservoir and the paint picked up on the canvas. You really need to experiment and fine tune the look. Each brush tip gives a different result and changing the size will also effect it's look. Hope this helps.:) If you need anything else please let me know

Not sure how you learn to do this stuff so easily and how you know exactly which images to work this or that technique on. This one is amazingly loverly. The colors and the effect are superb. My only wish is more of a diagonally treatment with the stem coming into the frame from the llc.
