You can achieve interesting effects like this by creating your own Custom Paper inside of Painter and I'm going to show you just how to do that. As you can see I have a grape like color on a texture. I'll go ahead and hide the Layer here that has the color to show you what my actual Custom Paper looks like. Alright so what I'm going to do is create a brand New Document and I like how my voice skipped like that, shouldn't be doing that I'm 40 something years old. But what I'm going to do is go and capture a design. That's the first thing you have to do, draw something on the paper. You can use any color you want to but keep in mind its going to be pretty much grayscale. So I'm going to make this a dark color like so and I'll also reduce the size of my brush and I'm to simply going to draw out something like this just to create my own texture and I'll do a couple of dots like this and just come up with something interesting. And by the way before I actually capture this, let me show you how to avoid a potential pitfall. When you go to the Paper Menu and you click on this Arrow, you'll notice that we have the ability to capture the paper. So if this is Ghosted Out you have to remember one thing, you have to have a Marquee Selection around whatever you're trying to capture. Here is the texture I want captured as a Paper, I have to grab a Marquee, draw a Selection around it and then when I return it is there, Capture Paper. So I'll go ahead and Select it and I'll call it, let's see Cross Hatch and I can affect the Cross Fade which pretty much determines how the tiles of the image you have here will affect one another and how close they are and how they blend with one another. By the way, this is a thing you have to experiment with and I'm just going to go ahead and put it around 60 or 70 for now. Click OK and now my Paper is done. So I'm going to create a New Document and what I'm going to do is I'm going to make sure that I have it in my list and there it is, Cross Hatch. I can even see it by the way if I go to the Paper Mover and there it is, it says Cross Hatch and here's my other one called Grape and now I'll actually apply this texture to my paper. I go to Effects, Surface Control, Apply Surface Texture and there it is. What I can do by the way is I can also change the softness, I can invert the texture. I can also change the depth amount, the shine and everything else that I can do with a Default Painter Brush. It's just like the other brushes and I can change the light and when I'm happy I can simply say OK. So I'm going to say OK and there's my texture. Now the way I got the actual effect you saw with the Grape Image was I created an additional layer on top of my canvas and then I choose a different color. So I'm going to grab a green color this time, change my brush and I'm going to paint on my paper. Having it on its own layer allows me to change the Blend Mode to something Multiply or Screen to really get different effects. That kind of looked good actually, see if I can goop. So that's how you create your own Custom Corel Painter 11 Papers.
