Applying and adjusting flow maps
Flow maps are designed to maximize the creative potential of the Real Watercolor
brushes by adding a textured surface that helps direct the flow of paint.
This section contains the following topics:
• Getting started with flow maps
• Choosing flow maps and compatible brush variants
• Enabling flow maps and controlling flow resistance
•Customizing flow maps
Getting started with flow maps
You can use flow maps when working with Real Watercolor brushes to create textured
surfaces that help direct the flow of paint. Flow maps are similar to paper textures;
however, the surfaces that they create have higher peeks and deeper valleys that allow
for greater water displacement. The flow map relief encourages the paint to flow and
settle in unique and irregular patterns. You can use flow maps in combination with
paper texture to retain the paper grain.
