Join John Derry for an in-depth discussion in this video Using media selectors, part of Painter 12 Essential Training.
Besides tools, an artist's stock-in-trade are the art materials applied with those tools.…Painter 12's art materials provide a wide variety of expressive variation.…In this video, we will take a look at art materials and how to access these…expression-flavoring items.…Now art materials are the name that have been given to these various materials…since early in the dawn of Painter.…With this version, they are now kind of referring to it instead as media, and as…you noticed, again, if you're a Painter user from previous versions, those art…materials, or media, used to be a part of the Tool palette.…
And what's happened here is they have now created a second little palette that…has the media in it.…Papers does remain as part of the Tool palette since it's the most commonly-used…one, but then you've got Patterns, you've got Gradients, we've got Nozzles,…we've got Weaves, and finally we have Brush Looks.…You've got all the same materials, they are just now largely in a separate…palette with the exception of Paper.…

Q: When I double-click the John's Smart Brushes.brushcategory file as shown in the Chapter 8 movie "Understanding the Underpainting palette," the brushes do not install. Instead I get the message "There is no application set to open this document."
A: This is because your operating system does not recognize the .brushcategory file type. This can be circumvented by selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing "Open With…".
If Painter 12 is not in the list, use "Other…" to locate and select Painter 12.
The file will be read by Painter and the brush category will be installed.
