Adjusting and creating Impasto brushes
The Impasto brush controls let you modify Impasto brush variants, or transform other brush variants into
Impasto brushes. The controls let you set drawing and depth methods, set the amount of depth applied,
and the modify brush interaction. The impasto settings act identically to other brush settings, in that
they’re saved as part of a brush variant or applied to any active brush. For more information, see “Adjusting
brushes with brush controls” on page 325.
Setting an impasto drawing method
The impasto drawing methods control the amount of color and depth that the brush applies to the canvas.
When you change the drawing method, it affects the next brushstroke that you apply to the canvas.
Setting an impasto depth method
The impasto Depth Method lets you choose a control medium for applying depth. Corel Painter uses the
luminance (brightness) information in the control medium to determine how much depth is applied within
a stroke. Light areas of the medium receive more depth; dark areas receive less. Black areas appear flat.
For example, when you use Paper as the Depth Method, the bright and dark areas of the paper grain
determine where grooves and bumps appear in the brushstroke.
This Impasto brushstroke is produced when Paper is used as the Depth Method.
The impasto depth method option is not supported by all brush types.
Controlling the depth interaction of a medium
If the brush variant that you chose allows you to select a Depth Method, you can also adjust various
settings that alter the way the brushstrokes interact the canvas and other brushstrokes.
You can invert the depth method to apply the negative of the source in a brushstroke. For example, if you
invert the depth using Weaving Luminance, light areas of the weave become dark and vice versa.
