Painting with a gradient by using Gradient (left) and Gradient Repeat (right).

When painting with a gradient, only the Linear gradient type is supported.

Direction matters when you paint with a gradient. Corel Painter flips the

gradient when you change direction. To achieve a uniform effect, apply

strokes in the same direction.
