These are brushes that start to let you become a painter when you are not a painter. So that's another thing to look for, okay? I love these brushes. If you put a gray scale file, like 50% gray under it, then you can start seeing them. Well, guess what? When you change all that, it does nothing. So I do a lot of my samples on white because I wanna see what's going on. Y said, 'I don't know, give it a try.' Some of that has to do with if you're painting over a tone or on white. Play with them as you will and all the stuff I read on the internet, other than from Adobe, said the exact same thing. There's some definitions that don't mean anything for my artistic brain. There's a function here on the mixer brush, do you see these icons, mixer brush? And it's dry versus light versus moist. There is one section down here at the bottom that makes zero sense to me no matter how many time I've read it. I think for today, it doesn't really matter overly, but you can refer to this later. There are some data points on the tool bar that you're gonna wanna pay attention to. Hopefully we'll make it a little clearer.

I know this kind of trips up some folks, we talked a little bit at the very beginning about what a mixer brush does and a smudge brush and it's not uber important, it's just, a smudge brush just takes what's there and moves it around, okay? And a mixer brush will put something down and take what's there and move it around.
