Tips For Use

I keep the brush options window open (press F5 to bring it up) so I can adjust the texture and colour dynamic options as i paint. Sometimes you will want deeper textures, other times you will want light or no textures. I usually paint the vast majority of a piece with normal brushes then use mixer brushes at the end.

For reference the PC specs I use these brushes with are an AMD FX 8350, 12GB DDR3 ram, GTX 960 graphics card.
