Sargeant brush

Hi all,

I'm new to Painter and not an actual painter in any form. I've seen some of Sargeant's paintings, with the marvelous brush strokes,and I love the Painter Sargeant brush. But I was wondering if anyone could explain why the Sargeant brush only works on the Canvas layer?

Thanks

It's not just the canvas layer. It won't work on transparency therefore you need existing pixels for it to function. If you make a new layer and fill it with colour then the brush will work. Or if you have an existing layer with something painted on it then you can use the Sargeant brush on that layer.

There are some other brushes that behave in a similar way too.

In case nobody noticed -- in the newly released Painter 2018 the Sargent brush (along with any other Liquid/Drip-based brushes) will now work on blank layers, as well as blend to transparency on any layer.
