This tutorial introduces the new digital watercolor feature in Corel Painter 8. Digital watercolor lets you complete a watercolor painting on a single layer. You decide how much your applied color bleeds-called "diffusion" in Corel Painter 8-and how much color migrates to the edges of your brush strokes when you set percentage levels for "wet fringe." As you work, the diffusion and migration controls are constantly visible and available on the digital watercolor property bar above the canvas. On the property bar, you can also change brush size, transparency, and opacity, and you can set grain levels when working on textured watercolor canvases.

This tutorial gives you an overview of the basic steps involved with working from a photograph in Corel Painter 8. In this case, the finished painting emulates a chalky oil pastel with a touch of oil paint brush strokes. You can apply the procedure described here with different brushes and create almost any style of artwork that interests you. When referring to keyboard shortcuts, we quote first the Macintosh shortcut followed by the Windows shortcut (for example Option/Alt).

Tinting is a layer-based artistic technique in which transparent brush strokes are applied over existing grayscale artwork to add color. Tinting is based on the Gel compositing method, which allows artists to add transparent layers of color to an image without opaquely covering it.

One of the main features in Corel Painter 8 water color technology is the Water Color layer.
