474 Corel Painter X3 Getting Started Guide
In addition, you can change the color of a light source. For example, you can have
multiple colored lights interact with the depth to produce different textural effects. You
should keep in mind that each light interacts with all the Impasto brushstrokes, so be
careful not to set up colored lights that clash with the colors in your composition or light
sources that create unwanted shadows.
The image above uses two different colored light sources.
Setting light properties
You can adjust the appearance of depth, in addition to the intensity and brightness of a
light source. The adjustments that you make to surface lighting affect all Impasto
brushstrokes. To change the depth of individual brushstrokes, you can vary stylus
settings or build up media. For more information, see “Blending impasto with other
layers” on page 475. Just as the right lighting can bring out the deep-textured look of
a brushstroke, the wrong lighting can wash out the effect altogether.
To add, remove, or modify a source
1 Choose Canvas Surface Lighting.
2 Perform an action from the following table.
To Do the following
Add a light source Click on the lighting sphere where you want
to add a new light source.
A new light indicator (small circle) appears
where you click.
Delete a light source Click on a light indicator and press Delete.
