interruption. Computed brushes use bearing, with the exception of those that use the

Rendered dab type, so you cannot use them to create 360° strokes.

Painting with airbrushes

The Corel Painter computed airbrushes are so realistic, you feel as though you’re using

a real airbrush. For more about computed brushes, refer to “General controls: Dab

types” on page 322.

The best way to get used to the Corel Painter airbrushes is to play with them. Select

each variant and spray paint onto the canvas without worrying about running out of

compressed air. With computed airbrushes, you can paint with color, patterns, or

variants. One variant blows hairlike strokes; another variant just blows existing paint

around on the canvas, like a hose without an airbrush attached.

Try using the Fine Spray variant in the Airbrushes category for an example of how

Bearing and Flow settings combine to give realistic airbrush results.

For information about the Airbrush controls, see “Airbrush controls” on page 366.

Conic sections

Previous versions of digital airbrushes projected a thin mist of dots (or paint dabs) onto

the canvas. The Digital Airbrush variant (named Fat Stroke in previous versions of

Corel Painter) is included in the default brush library. With a digital airbrush, dots are

laid down, or sprayed, within a circular area, resembling the circle thrown by a

flashlight that is perfectly perpendicular to a piece of paper. The area of application

remains circular, regardless of tilt, bearing, or stylus pressure. Density, or flow,

adjustments can be mimicked with adjustments to the Opacity setting.

Previous versions of airbrushes sprayed a thin layer of dots within an area that

was always circular, like a circle of light from a flashlight that is

perpendicular to a piece of paper.
