Opaque Watercolour Brush. Not blending or overpainting

  • VIEW 3,321

Following a skillshare tutorial using opaque watercolour brush.

When I change colour and painting on the same layer that new colour is just ignored where there is already some paint. On the tutorial it is overpainting and blending. Is there a setting/techinique I am missing?

    Must be something to do with the parameters of the brush.
    Check sub-tool property panel (AKA "the brush engine") and search for blending parameters "color mixing", usually found in the "ink" category.
    Enabling those might blend the colors.

    I suggest reading the manual to get familiar with the software and general workflow with digital painting software.

    Hi thank for your answer I have been playing a fair bit and using skillshare to learn. Find the manuals don't really help unless you know something specific you are looking for.

    I have actually found part of the answer at least.

    By random thought, I tried using the mouse to paint with and that seemed to blend or overpaint ok. So I tried pressing really hard with the Wacom pen and it started to be noticeable.

    So it looks like my pen pressure setting was set way too hard for the brush. I have softened it and it has improved a lot. Still looking to get it just how I want it. I might look at seeing if CSP pen pressure settings can be used rather than always having to go back to the Wacom Pen preferences each time I want to change.

    It is still odd that it put the paint down find in the first place without extra pressure but overpainting requires A HUGE AMOUNT for the same setting.

    CSP has general pressure sensitivity setting/curve (file-pen pessure settings),
    you can also change the pen pressure curve for every tool that uses it and make custom,
    per-tool pressure (click small divot at the end of the parameters in brush engine, change pen pressure curve) .
