![]() And if you like the brushes, please consider donating to the blog. Please remember, these variants were made in Painter 2020 and are only compatible in Painter 2020. As I said, I love them, but I can’t speak for you. I am curious how these variants will be received. Post your work on FB or at the Digital Art Community…or anywhere I might see it. Please download the variants and paint away. I am not going to post images at first…I want to see what you do with them. But first, I want to post 7 videos that talk about the brushes. You can download them for free at the end of this post. And in no time at all, I developed Skip’s Ultimate Thick Paint category for Corel Painter 2020. I created a few “thick paint” brushes that painted thinly. I kept thinking that his brushstrokes looked like thick paint…thinner of course. I have always heard that Sargent was the king of Bravura strokes. I didn’t think the marks looked at all like our current Sargent Brush. You can zoom in and look at the various brushstrokes. I think the turning point came when I was looking at a Sargent painting at Google Arts and Culture. It didn’t occur to me to use them thinly and more like traditional oils that are not painted with a palette knife or gobs of paint on a brush. But my mindset was that thick paint needed to be used thickly. The more I used thick paint the more I felt like it emulated oil paint better than any other category in Painter. It appeared folks didn’t like to paint thickly. I also noticed that they didn’t seem as popular as I thought they should be. When Thick Paint was introduced two years ago, I loved it and still do. I have just finished a set of Corel Painter brushes called Skip’s Ultimate Thick Paint Category. It didn’t take very long to complete, but it served a purpose. I have the same learning curve you do…sigh. They are not excellent examples of the paintings, but show you that I struggle, too. Most of the images posted are of work done while creating the variants and should never see the light of day. Those are the types of things I show you in this set of videos. All you need to do is change the bleed slider to the setting that works best for you. Again, more than necessary for most people I venture. I like brushes to be wet and mix easily and quickly. Not a problem, dialing back texture is easy. I suspect too much texture for most people. My brushes will always show maximum texture. OK, so what might you want to change in a brush control panel? I love texture. Just remember all Brush Control Panels can be found under Window > Brush Control Panels regardless of your Painter version. Everything I do in the following videos can be done in Corel Painter 2018 or Corel Painter 2019, but I will access the brush controls differently than in 2018 or 2019. Most brushes can easily be manipulated especially in Corel Painter 2020. ![]() Plus, when I make variants, I make them for me and hope that you like them or can use them. Any new brush set comes with a learning curve and Skip’s Ultimate Thick Paint is no exception.
