How do you use the wet mix and glaze options to control the paint flow of your brushes in Procreate?

1 What are wet mix and glaze options?

Wet mix and glaze options are part of the brush studio in Procreate, where you can tweak various settings to change the behavior and appearance of your brushes. Wet mix and glaze options are located under the dynamics tab, and they affect how your brushes blend, dilute, and smear the paint on the canvas. Wet mix options simulate the wetness of the brush and the paint, while glaze options control the transparency and opacity of the strokes.

2 How to access wet mix and glaze options?

To access wet mix and glaze options, you need to open the brush studio by tapping on the brush icon on the top right corner of the screen. Then, select the brush you want to edit or create a new one. Next, tap on the dynamics tab and scroll down to find the wet mix and glaze options. You can tap on each option to see a preview of how it affects the brush stroke, and adjust the sliders or curves to fine-tune the effect.

3 How to use wet mix options?

Wet mix options allow you to control how much water or solvent is in your brush and how it mixes with the paint on the canvas. There are four main wet mix options: dilution, charge, attack, and pull. Dilution determines how diluted or concentrated the paint is in your brush. Charge affects how much paint your brush can hold and how quickly it runs out. Attack controls how fast the paint is applied to the canvas. Pull adjusts how much the brush pulls the existing paint on the canvas.

4 How to use glaze options?

Glaze options allow you to control how transparent or opaque your brush strokes are and how they blend with the underlying layers. There are three main glaze options: opacity, bleed, and gradient. Opacity determines how much the brush covers the canvas or the previous strokes. Bleed affects how much the brush blends with the existing paint on the canvas. Gradient controls how smoothly the brush transitions from opaque to transparent.

5 How to combine wet mix and glaze options?

Wet mix and glaze options can be combined to create different effects and styles with your brushes. For example, you can create a watercolor brush by increasing the dilution, charge, and bleed, and decreasing the opacity and pull. You can also create a dry brush by decreasing the dilution, charge, and bleed, and increasing the opacity and attack. You can experiment with different combinations of wet mix and glaze options to find the ones that suit your preferences and goals.
