I also talk about sample multiple colors and how the realbristle brushes can use sample multiple colors…very cool. In the last video, I review what I have learned. It has lots of sliders all geared to help you make the perfect variant based on traditional values. In the fifth video we explore the RealBristle brush control panel. In this video, part 4, I discover the RealBristle brush control panel I will explore it next. In this video, part 3, I find what dab types will work with rotation and which ones will not. In this video, part 2, I take a look at a variant that doesn’t have any rotation function and try to change it to a variant that does have rotation ability, however, I found that Expression Rotation in the Angle Brush Control Panel doesn’t always work…why? This first video shows the enhanced brush ghost as the best cursor to use with Art Pen, and I explain the advantages of barrel rotation. I have created 6 videos, each around 5 minutes long. It is a fabulous tool, and I would highly recommend it to traditional artists. But, it gave me the idea to follow my post about setting up the Intuos 5 with posts about the Wacom Art Pen and how you can tame it in Painter 12. I notice a thread that someone who is new to Painter asked if an art pen would be proper for a newbie. It is a great forum you can ask questions or answer them you can even suggest enhancements and new functions for future versions of Corel Painter. I follow Painter Factory, a forum for Painter users provided by Corel Painter. I have set it correctly now and it is available for viewing. UPDATE: Sorry, but I forgot to take video 5 off private. After finishing, I did use the default equalize and then faded it by 50%. Look for all the downloads at the end of the post. So this time I provided a brush category that has all the brushes used. Last time that disappointed many folks because they wanted to follow along. While painting, I used several new brushes that have not been published. I can’t say the painting was a rousing success, but I can say that I do love the color set.
Once I made the set, I tried a simple watercolor with colors only from the set. I haven’t taken the time to research the colors. Apparently they date back to 603…that’s quite a history. The Traditional colors of Japan have an interesting history. Color management on the Web is non-existent, which doesn’t matter in this case, as long as the RGB numbers are correct. I cannot tell you that the set is accurate. So, when I saw a site that had all the colors listed, I had to make a color set for myself.
The color is a major part of the attraction for me. I’m fond of the art of Japan and China, well all of Asia. That meant that I could create the color in Painter and add it to a color set. They are both terrific but the first one gave RGB equivalents for the colors. She posted two links The Traditional Colors of Japan from Wikipedia and from Ki Do Raku Japan – Traditional Colors of Japan. A week or two ago, Marie left a comment about the Traditional Colors of Japan.
