With the addition of Particle brushes and Jitter Smoothing, Corel Painter 2015 continues to push the envelope of digital art.
These new physics-inspired brushes produce rich, chaotic strokes by emitting particles from a central point that create lines and patterns as they move across the canvas. This revolutionary brush category allows a wide variety of artists to push their creative visions further, whether in photo art, illustration, concept art, traditional art, and more.
There are three types of Particle brushes — Gravity, Flow and Springs — and each have their own set of behaviors. You can control a Particle brush variant by linking its behavior to a variety of real-time input factors, such as pressure, bearing, tilt or velocity. Or you can let them run free, with beautiful, unpredictable results.
You can quickly get to work with Particle brushes by choosing the New Brushes user interface arrangement, which displays all palettes and controls related to the Particle brushes.
For more information, see Particle brushes.
Particle brushes were used to create the sparks and wisps of smoke in this image.

Corel Painter X3 saw the introduction of Universal Jitter, which allows you to add randomness to your brushstrokes by integrating the Jitter expression in a range of brush controls. The addition of Jitter Smoothing in Corel Painter 2015 helps you give your brushstrokes an even more natural, organic look.
