Discover key Painter brushes

Isis Sousa reveals her favourite Painter 2022 brushes and shows how you can use them to create unique digital art

Essential advice from Isis Sousa.

Many beginner artists who are new to Corel Painter 2022 can find themselves overwhelmed at the amount of choice the program offers.

So if you’re just starting out, what are the best Painter brushes to use and for what purpose? In this workshop we’ll follow the classic creative maxim “less is more” and put together a group of five essential brushes that can meet your artistic requirements in a variety of creative scenarios, ranging from producing early sketches, to paintings and polished illustrations.

More experienced artists will be aware that you only need one brush to produce art. Other times, combining the results of two brushes will bring a little extra pizzazz to the finished piece. However, some of Painter’s tools possess characteristics that are a combination of two distinct brushes or techniques, thus increasing their potential and usefulness. Handily, Painter 2022 has a refined brush library with new categories, varients and previews to dip into, as well as a new Favourites option to group together your preferred brushes in one place.

Let’s get to know this selection of versatile tools and discover how you can get the best from them!
