On its own, the Mixer panel mimics the traditional experience of mixing color on a panel. When used in tandem with brush variants that support mixing, the Mixer panel offers digital artists as much color-mixing flexibility as its traditional counterpart. You can create a color in the Mixer panel and apply it to the canvas. You can also sample and paint with multiple colors.
You can sample multiple colors in the Mixer panel and paint directly on the canvas.
You can mix colors with brush variants that use the following dab types: Camel Hair, Flat, Bristle Spray, Watercolor Camel, Watercolor Flat, and Watercolor Bristle. The dab type for a brush variant appears in the General panel of the Brush Controls palette.
