Paint Brush Tools
1) Create a new file and make sure the background contents is set to white.
2) Next select the brush tool.
3) Make sure you DO NOT select the history brush by mistake; it looks just like the brush tool but it has a little arrow on it.
4) With the brush tool select click and drag anywhere on your picture.
5) If your brush paints too big or too small you can change the size by clicking "Brush" in the upper right hand of the screen.
6) Next you can click and drag on the master diameter slider and drag it right and left to change the brush size.
7) Now when you paint the brush size can be bigger or smaller. I made it quite a bit bigger.
8) You may want to use different colors as well. For this we will use the color picker. Click on the color that is in the front (red in my case).
9) Now you should see the color picker window.
10) Click on any of the colors in the vertical rainbow bar to choose a new color to paint with.
11) You can also pick how bright, dark or strong your color will be by clicking around on the square.
12) I chose a purplish color and then painted some more.
13) Now you can choose different style brushes as well. Go back to the brush in the upper right hand corner and click on it.
14) You can click on any of the brushes. Scroll down to see more brushes.
15) I selected a star shaped brush and painted some stars.
16) Next you may want to try adjusting the flow and opacity of the brushes. They are at the top of the screen near the menus.
17) Adjust the flow and opacity percentages down and experiment a bit. You can see that they make the brush have a lighter "touch." The stars at the top of my picture came out much lighter.... Success!
