MARCH 11, 2004 Custom Brushes in Painter 8
Random Using the Random settings, you can introduce some more variation in your brush, sometimes effecting a more "natural" appearance to your stroke. The only setting you need to concern yourself with in this category is Jitter. In short, increase the amount of Jitter in your brush increases the amount of random placement dabbing of its nib. A very high Jitter value will scatter your brush stroke all over the canvas, while a low Jitter value will keep your stroke tighter. Note also that increasing Jitter has an obvious effect on your Continuous Time Deposition setting. With Jitter enabled, you will get a lot more continuous flow out of your brush. You can tone this down by simply turning off the Continuous Time Deposition option in the Spacing category. You can also control the amount of Jitter in your stroke using pressure, tilt or other expressions.

The Impasto attributes allow you to simulate depth in your brush strokes, and the same holds true for blending brushes. Though your blending brush doesn't apply any color of its own, it can be used to create a depth effect on existing paint. In order to enable Impasto, switch to the Impasto category and switch the Draw To setting from "Color" to "Color and Depth." For this type of brush, you'll want to set the depth to something less than 100 percent. The Plow value should be at or near 100 percent. And Smoothing, particularly if you're using random jitter, should be set quite high as well. Decrease Smoothing for a more rough, grainy appearance.  And here are some examples of the impasto blender brushes using the brush types listed below.
