With traditional art media, the results from using a marking tool depend on the texture of the surface to which it is applied. Corel Painter allows you to control the texture of the canvas to achieve the results you would expect from using traditional media on a given surface — felt pens on cotton paper, chalk on the sidewalk, and so on.
You can use paper textures in many ways. Brushes interact with paper “grain,” just as traditional tools react with the texture of the surfaces beneath them. Working with paper grains is useful when you use the Apply Surface Texture command or other effects, such as Glass Distortion. You can select different paper textures, modify them, organize them in libraries, and even create your own custom textures.

The terms “paper grain” and “paper texture” are used synonymously.
