Painter 2019 features an updated, larger slider bar, complete with a handy little grabber, which makes controls a lot easier to handle. Painter 2019 debuts a new look for windows and menus, with little round grabbers in the color wheel set on a neutral gray background. In total, three gray themes are available, including the original light gray that many users still like, and a middle gray. And once again, David…thank you so much for your generosity.Backgrounds for palettes, windows, and screens are now dark gray to better isolate colors. I think I have some videos somewhere, probably You Tube, about making Ebru like images in Painter. Other groups of people used the same techniques. Google it and learn more, there’s even a few videos about it on You Tube. In case you didn’t know, Suminagashi is an ancient Japanese paper marbling technique. I altered the velocity of the stroke to showcase the different look at different speeds.
In this example, I used Life Form for the top stroke and Life Form Mono for the bottom stoke. Use a slower stroke speed to produce a more closed, tubular form, and faster strokes to give a more open “backbone” effect. The Color Variability Panel randomizes the colors/values within the strokes. The strokes produced by the Life Form and Life Form Mono variants appear alien, hence the name. Suminagashi and Suminagashi Grad Variants I thought I would give you a few tips copied from David’s JitterBrush site about those variants. Many folks have requested Suminagashi 2 category included in the library. Some of David’s brushes are pretty complex and need a bit of explanation. You will need to switch back and forth between libraries. Please note, the installed file is a separate library. To install these brushes, first download the above file and save it to your computer, then open Painter, go to the Menu Bar and select Brushes > Import > Brush Library and select the downloaded file. With many thanks to David here is David Gell Brush Library. But, I have always loved David’s variants, old or new, so I have kept them over the years.
This library contains 28 brush categories and some of them are quite old and haven’t been available for some time.
I created a David Gell Brush library so that I could have all of his variants in one place. I have followed David’s Painter tutorials since I started using Painter and most of what I know about brushes comes from his generous sharing. Well…since today is my birthday, I thought I would pass David’s gift to my blog readers. He did give me permission to post all of them for you. Many of David’s brushes were on his site, JitterBrush, but he took the site down and his variants were not available on-line. And at least a year ago I promised to post brushes created by David Gell, who I consider to be the best brush master ever. I know…I have been a very bad person and neglected my blog…sigh.
