The Mixer Brush "Clean" Trick

Simulate real oil paint blending.

The Workflow

1. Select Mixer Brush Tool.
2. In the top bar, locate the two paint well icons.
3. Select “Clean Brush After Every Stroke” (the icon with the X).
4. Set Wet to 50%, Mix to 50%.

The Technique

Now, your brush picks up existing color from the canvas and drags it (like wet paint), but when you lift your stylus, it “cleans” itself. This prevents your colors from turning into mud—a common problem with digital painting blending.
