The terms “paper grain” and “paper texture” are used synonymously.

Applying paper texture

Corel Painter allows you to apply paper texture to the canvas. In general, you can define texture as the

roughness or coarseness of a surface, which you can both see and feel. In Corel Painter, however, texture

modifies only the appearance of the image, to give you the illusion of surface roughness. It also interacts by

subtly or dramatically altering the appearance of brushstrokes.

In addition, certain brushes include a “grainy” method subcategory that is specifically designed to react

with the paper texture and grain. Some brushes also let you determine the amount of grain that is revealed

by each brushstroke. For more information about brush methods, see “General controls: Methods and

subcategories” on page 339.

One brushstroke applied to three different paper textures.

It is important to note that some brushes, such as those in the Airbrushes category, don’t reveal paper

texture in their brushstrokes. This behavior corresponds with that of a traditional airbrush.

Corel Painter includes several default paper textures that are stored in the Papers library. For more

information about working with libraries, see “Working with libraries” on page 56. Additional paper

textures are also provided on the Corel Painter DVD and on the Corel website.
