Painter has long set the standard for providing artists with the most realistic 

Natural-Media brushes that produce digital artwork with warmth, richness, and 

texture. Painter 12 continues that tradition by introducing two new brush 

categories whose characteristics cannot be replicated by any other software. 

New! Real Watercolor: 

The introduction of new Real Watercolor behavior 

continues Painter’s long legacy of uniquely simulating traditional media. The 

new watercolor characteristics enable true blending and bleeding of watercolor 

pigments on the canvas, just like their real-world counterpart.

As you apply watercolor brushstrokes to the canvas, the paint spreads out 

before settling into its dried state. If a new watercolor brushstroke is painted 

over an existing brushstroke, new textures and color pigments will emerge as 

the brushstrokes interact. You can set watercolor behavior to bleed into the 

canvas or flow in your chosen manner, such as directional gravity.

The Real Watercolor brush controls simulate working with a watercolor brush, 

watercolor paper, pigments, and a glass of water. The controls are grouped into 

five areas — brush, water, pigment, paper, and wind — to help you produce 

unique and personalized effects with every brushstroke you make. For example, 

you can adjust paper texture settings to determine how paint will pool into any 

underlying peaks and valleys of the canvas.
