We are going to make a valentine now, and I have started with a pink paper color. This time, I am not going to use nozzles, but we are going to use a pattern. And, I am recalling from an earlier version of Painter and Painter version 6, that there were lovely roses. I am going to access that earlier library by simply using the load library command. And then going to the painter application on my hard drive, and I will find version 6 waiting for me and then if I open that it will allow me to get the patterns that were the default patterns for version 6, and here are those red roses that I love so much. I am going to begin by doing a fill with the paint bucket - now I am just making sure that fill with is set to clone source, and there is my fill. Why did I use pink paper? You will seen in a moment. I am going to fade this for a very pale look, and now I am going to create a border using one of the pattern pens. And this is now in Painter 7, pattern pens have their own category on the brushes pallet and there are quite a few more possibilities here. Pattern pen masked is going to be my choice for the moment, and I am going to use the straight-line style as I did with the pink poppies. I think I probably do not need to use the grid paper, if I simply go to the exact corner from corner to corner - continue clicking on each corner I will have rather a perfect rose border. Now I am going to look for the heart shape in my selection portfolio and there is a heart shape. I am going to fill that with a solid color and using my eyedropper by holding down the option key or the alt key if your on a PC, and then I will fill that, not with clone source this time, but with the current color. There we are. And I am going to take advantage of a command in the select menu, stroke selection. And, what I want to stroke this selection with, is yet another special kind of brush - it is in the pen group. It is the grad pen or gradient pen and if I choose now in my art materials, if I choose the gradient I want and it is this kind of a candy stripe look, it's called candy stripe. So now I will use the stroke selection command and there I have my candy stripe. I am going to deselect and I believe I will add some type - there is the text tool, I will click and write "Be Mine". I hit the return key for the next line "Valentine" - there it is. But that's still "arriba arriba" we do not want that necessarily to be our font, So let's look at our choices in the objects palette; let's find our text section, close that up and let's find an alternative to that. Allegro sounds kind of romantic - oh, not bad at all. I'll just move that into place and perhaps add a drop shadow, a little bit less opaque, a little bit blurred. You know what? I think I'm going to try the other kind of shadow, this interior shadow. It's a kind of interesting lets see if we can also make that a little bit less strong, and give that a blur as well, now that looks pretty good.
