Hi;

I tried the brush, watercolour, it it worked very nicely. So I like the look of the stroke, and I can vary the width of each stroke.

Two bonus questions related to this, if I may.

First, how would I make each stroke fully coloured? When I did some drawing, the lines were grey, and I could only manage to colour a small percentage of the stroke, by highlighting it after. I'd like to be able to make a pattern very close to my example, and I suspect that it would be easier if I were starting off with a coloured brush, not trying to colour after the fact.

Second, these strokes are fairly wispy, and seem to be somewhat curved (even if I hold down the shift button while drawing). Can I crop part of the brush stroke, either ends, or top and bottom, while leaving the parts I want?

Thanks again, Tom.

Again, terrifically helpful gents. Thanks, and as always, I'll try this when I'm at my computer.

I'm not quite sure how to "Drag the brush from the Brushes panel and drop it on the document. Select each color/shade and change as desired." but I'll work on this and see, since it sounds quite literal. Without showing me, a fair bit of this will be a trial/error thing, but that's as expected.

The opacity thing has me asking this: if I use only Pantone Solid Coated colours, what happens to the overlap area of 2 Pantone coloured objects, especially if the objects are half opaque? Picture a horizontal rectangle, Pantone Red let's say, with a Pantone Blue rectangle lying over it. Where the two meet, what colour do we have? (Barney would say purple) Would it still be a Pantone shade?

The only reason I'm curious about this, is that my Dye-Sub printer is insisting on all Pantone Solid Coated colours, nothing else.

So, off to try it. Thanks again.
