brushstrokes interact with the paper texture and grain to produce results you would
expect from real world watercolors. You can modify the Real Watercolor brush controls
to achieve different effects. For more information, see “Real Watercolor controls” on
page 350.
Real Wet Oil
The Real Wet Oil brush variants help you achieve realistic oil brushstrokes. The Real
Wet Oil brush variants let you control paint viscosity and color concentration, similar
to mixing oil paint and a medium. You can also modify the Real Wet Oil brush controls
to achieve different effects. For more information, see “Real Wet Oil controls” on

Smart Strokes
Smart Strokes brush variants are based on popular brush variants from other brush
categories, but they are optimized to work with the Photo Painting System. For more
information about the Photo Painting System, see “Auto-painting photos” on page 144.
Sponges
Sponges let you create a variety of textures by applying the current paint color to cover
or blend existing colors. Some Sponge brush variants apply dabs of paint at random
angles with each click of a stylus. Wet sponge brush variants, such as Grainy Wet
Sponge, apply sponge dabs as you drag across the canvas. Smeary Wet Sponge variant
lets you blend the current paint color with existing colors as you drag across the canvas.
