ReplyDeleteDo the WC brushes work with Painter 9.5?
Thanks -

Yes, John's Watercolors is now compatible with Painter 9. The purchased download now includes a ZIP file specifically for Painter 9. If you've previously purchased John's Watercolors and want the version for Painter 9, you can use your original download link to access the johns_watercolors.zip file, decompress it and get the included version for Painter 9.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. One of my readers was asking about this, so I'll let him know.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased these. Where is the download link? There are no instructions or any notes saying when to expect this. I need to complete a project which is why I purchased them.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteWill these work with Painter 11 Watercolor and Digital Watercolor?
Thanks,Catharine
Hi Anne:
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use the brushes in conjunction with Painter's existing watercolor brushes.

Hi John, Your brushes are truly amazing! I'm using them with Painter 11 and the Cintiq 21 digital tablet.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time I've been able to get my digital work to look like my traditional illustrations.
Thank you, Catharine

I'm using Corel PhotoPaint 12 and a Wacom tablet. Do these brushes work with that program as well?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your talent
Stay inspired!

Hi Michelle:
ReplyDeleteNo, the Watercolor brushes are Painter-only brushes. Sorry!
-john
JOhn, is there someplace I can look to see what these brushes are like? HOw they work, etc.? How are they different from what is in Painter, now? THe end product doesn't do me much good as I can't tell how the brushes help get you there.

Hi Jeff:
ReplyDeleteYou may want to check out my free John's Watercolors webinar download. In this video, I do a start-to-finish watercolor using my brushes.
I hope this helps!
-john
Thanks, John. That did help. However, another quick question. I can't find how many brushes are included and maybe a description/example of each on. Is that available. Do you just get the brushes used in the webinar? 3 or 4?

Hi there John! Just tried out your brushes in Painter 12 and the last version works really nice! Even faster then the new "real water colour-brushes" do. Would be nice to hear your experience ...
ReplyDeleteRegards from Sweden!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was curious if these are part of Painter's digital watercolors or the watercolors set? With the erasures and blending, they seem like Painter's digital watercolors, but it'd be nice to use these dab-heavy brushes you've got in conjunction with some of the more typically "wet" watercolors in Painter 11. Thanks!
Hi Steve
DeleteThese are not part of Painters watercolour sets. The Gel Brushes are a combination of dry brushes and the Wet Brushes are Digital Watercolour. There are wonderfully expressive and easy to use. I love them! Since this comment was written so long ago, you probably already know that, but others might not.
Cheers,
Joan
I enjoy your brushes John. I purchased them this morning and have been watching videos and learning them all day.

Hi John
ReplyDeleteMy students are enjoying using the two brushes from your Watercolour set that you kindly allowed me to include in my Custom Sets.
Thanks again!
