What is the difference between ‘Paint’ and ‘Paint & Mix’?

Hello,

I have just started working with Rebell 7.

My question:
What is the difference between ‘Paint’ and ‘Paint & Mix’?

When I paint on the canvas, I see the same result with both settings.
Where can I change the settings here so that it behaves as if I were painting with oil paint?

I have already worked with ‘Art Rage Vitae’. It immediately feels realistic there. I would also like to see this with Rebell 7.

Thank you very much.

Firstly,
I would recommend turning on multi-colored brush and dirty brush.

These settings can turn any Rebelle oil brush into some spontaneous naturalistic results. However, at first these might feel out of control. So what I've done is put "clean brush" on a keyboard shortcut to regain control. Now I can't paint without these settings.

Also, experiment with the properties sliders (loading, oiliness, pressure).
Hint: less pressure will get you more canvas interaction. More oil will make blending more potent. So use low pressure, low oil for a dry brush that scrapes over the canvas. Use low loading, high oil, for a thin smeary brush. Experiment and get familiar with those settings. This was all done with the same brush (below)

Vary the amount of impasto in your paintings so every brush stroke doesn't look the same... either by lowering the loading, or adjusting "max. Impasto Height in the brush creator.

Always have pigment turned on.

Hi Wolfgang - the difference is like this:
  • Paint - the new stroke covers the existing paint, depending on transparency/loading settings
  • Paint & Mix - initially acts like 'Paint', but switches to 'Mix' when easing the pressure during the stroke. The amount of required pressure easing can be adjusted in the brush creator, 'Paint' tab, 'Mixing' (of course this mode needs pressure sensitivity in order to work).
    After going into Mix mode, pressure needs to be increased again (according to the the 'Paint' curve) to apply new paint.
Quoted from german manual, page 100:
Pinselersteller: Farbe

Mischen

Malmodus Kurveneditor: Malen & Mischen - In diesem Modus wird standardmäßig
mit einem bestimmten Druck gemalt. Wenn Sie weniger Druck verwenden, beginnen
Sie ab einem bestimmten Punkt, die Farben miteinander zu mischen.

If you want mixing/blending right from the start of a stroke, you can use Paint & Blend mode instead.
