There are 800 in total, including 131 that are new in this version and 438 legacy brushes that are hidden from view but remain available for backwards compatibility.
With so much editing depth, it's a relief to find a well organised collection of brush presets. With Opacity mapped to pen pressure and brush size mapped to the audio input, I was able to take precise control over brush strokes. Even so, making noises into a headset microphone while painting added a welcome extra level of control. It's also disappointing that there's no Smoothness control – the tracked audio volume jumps from one value to the next at a low sample rate. I'm not convinced by Corel's suggestions that this channels the emotion of music into an artwork. ^ These pulsating streaks of colour were created by controlling particle brushes with an audio input This can be mapped to a wide range of parameters including size, opacity, grain, angle and colour variation. It uses either an audio input, such as a microphone, or the system audio – most likely some music – and turns the volume envelope into a controller.

This latest update introduces a new input type called Audio Expression. I was able to resurrect an old Wacom Graphire4 graphics tablet, which did the job nicely. Corel told me that it has worked closely with Microsoft to ensure that Surface and Painter work well together.

Pressure-sensitive touchscreens are few and far between unless you want to splash out on one of Wacom's high-end Cintiq displays, but Wacom's Intuos drawing tablets and Microsoft's Surface Pen for Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3 are other available options. There are jitter settings to randomise parameters, plus the ability to vary parameters according the speed or direction of brush strokes or the pressure of the input.Ĭorel Painter needs to be used with a pressure-sensitive input device for best results, as the ability to respond to pen pressure breathes life into brush strokes. Delving into the 40 brush control panels reveals hundreds more options such as bristle rigidity, brush wetness, water viscosity and evaporation rate. The Property Bar across the top handles the basics, including size, opacity and a couple of others depending on the selected brush. ^ The Impasto and Liquid Ink brush categories combine particles with other painting technologies to create rich dynamic textures
