Corel Master Painter Karen Bonaker has just posted her new Nature Water Brushes to her Blog. These are fabulous brushes. They are not watercolor brushes; Karen made them with painting rivers, lakes, oceans and waterfalls in mind, but in reality, they are so much more useful. In this image she used her Pure Water brush a lot. It is an amazingly versatile brush. Following is what she says on her blog:
“My Fall Open Studio is just coming to an end and I wanted to share with you the brushes that were used in this session and some of the wonderful paintings created by my students. Open Studio is always special and so much individual growth takes place with each artist, it is wonderful to see.
Nature water brushes are not Watercolor brushes, they are derived from a blender brush variant called Water Rake. Please view the videos to understand how to use them in your creative process.”

Thanks for pointing this out to me Skip. Karen is an excellent teacher and a fantastic artist and all her tutorials are so well done! Highly recommend!

I second that Joan. Karen has been very instrumental in my growth as a digital artist. If you haven’t subscribed to her blog, you must do it. It is a great source for painter users.
BTW, you will love the pure water brush for blending reflections. It should work without modification on a digital watercolor layer, but you will have to commit a watercolor layer. Watch her demos…the big wave brush is amazing, too.
