Re: Canvas from texture
Some tricks for you:
Also, [shift]+[t] inverts the canvas texture!
Also, you may vary the opacity of your color to get different kind of behaviors for your colors...sometimes that's a great way to help getting a watercolor like effect!
Also, there is a new paint mode (=) you can toggle to in the paint action panel. Hit [m] twice to toggle to it, if you had just started Verve. Or control the BUILD UP parameter in the brush panel, probably setting it to 0% or some low value to get a more watercolor like action.
Also, last but not least, [h] to toggle on HIGH QUALITY mode, which is off by default for those, who have less powerful graphics cards.
- use the default brush (#9) and make it as large as the canvas (hold [space] and drag it out until it's big enough!)!
- hit [a] to lock the brush rotation
- zoom out so that you can start a straight stroke from outside the canvas across to the other side for straight lines over the whole thing!
- You can do the same vertically then, too, or how ever you want the paper weaving to look.
- hit [ctrl]+[p] to turn it into a canvas texture! (you knew that already, of course)
- make a new layer and hide your canvas texture layer, but leave it there to just store it!
- pick a color to fill your canvas with and then hit [ctrl]+[shift]+[f] or the new little button I added to the brush action panel!
- now you can experiment with fluidity and all its parameters to get the right feeling for your water colors...
