Join John Derry for an in-depth discussion in this video Using media selectors, part of Painter 2015 Essential Training.
- Besides tools, an artist's stock and trade…are the art materials applied with the tools.…Painter's art materials, referred to as media,…provide a wide variety of expressive variation.…In this video, we'll look at the media selector…and how to access these expression flavoring items.…Now because of the screen resolution we're working on,…we can't show where the media selector…would normally appear, which is directly below…the tool palette, but it just doesn't have…enough space to show that.…
So I'm going to open it up…and we'll just have it kind of hanging out…here in the middle, but normally this would have a spot…where it would be off to the side of the interface…instead of being right in the area which is…normally used to paint in.…This is compromised of five different mediums…that you can work with.…You have patterns, gradations, nozzles, weaves…and looks and I'll talk a little bit…about each one of these.…First up are patterns and if you…click on each of these, it will pop up…a selection or library of several variations.…
