Corel Painter Help :
Color : Creating two-color brushstrokes
Quick links to procedures on this page:
Selected brush categories include variants that support two-color brushstrokes. For example, the Acrylics, Calligraphy, and Chalk categories include variants that allow you to produce two-color brushstrokes. They are also known as noncomputed dab types, which are dab-based, as opposed to rendered. For more information, see General controls: Dab types.
You can choose the two colors used by the brushstroke by specifying both a Main and an Additional Color. If you have only a Main Color selected, you produce a solid-color brushstroke. You can then use the Color Expression panel to determine when Corel Painter uses one color or the other. For more information, see Setting Color Expression.
