Using the Kaleidoscope Painting mode

Corel Painter lets you to transform basic brushstrokes into a colorful and symmetrical kaleidoscope image. When you paint a brushstroke in one kaleidoscope segment, multiple reflections of the brushstroke appear in the other segments. You can apply between 3 to 12 mirror planes to a kaleidoscope. You can also rotate or reposition the mirror planes to expose different colors and patterns. You can restore the default settings of the Kaleidoscope tool at any time.
