You can use Fringe watercolor brushes to create effects similar to those produced with watercolor brushes, without having to create a separate layer. Settings such as Diffusion, Opacity, and Wet Fringe control the appearance of the stroke.
Fringe watercolor brushes also use diffusion to create soft, feathery edges on the brushstrokes. You can adjust the amount of diffusion by using the controls on the property bar.
The Wet Fringe slider controls the amount of water pooling and paint at the edges of Fringe watercolor brushstrokes. You can dynamically adjust the wet fringe on any Fringe watercolor brushstroke before you dry it. Dynamically adjusting the Wet Fringe affects every wet Fringe watercolor brushstroke, which remains wet until you dry it.

The Diffusion slider is also accessible from the Digital Watercolor panel. You can open the panel by choosing Window Brush Control Panels Brush Media Digital Watercolor.
You can also adjust wet fringe before applying brushstrokes by adjusting the Wet Fringe slider.
