Much as Painter 2021 made thick paints easier to use alongside other tools, Painter 2022 makes the watercolour tools much more flexible. Corel tells us that around a third of artists use watercolour features for anything from creating a background wash to paint over to creating entire illustrations, but until now they had to be on their own layer - and you had to hunt for which brushes would actually work on a watercolour layer. Watercolours were a powerful but also complicated option in Painter. Working with watercolours is now much more flexible, and you can combine them with brushes like chalks. The richness and versatility of those different brush engines also made it complicated to customise a brush for the way you want to paint, or even find the right brush in the first place. For example, Painter has multiple brush engines (the code that handles the shape of the brush, the type of paint on the brush and how that paint interacts with the canvas) many of them you can use together, but some have been reserved for specific types of layers. Increasingly, the problem was finding them and understanding which ones would work well together. That's possibly more useful than yet more features, since Painter already has a lot of features. After years of quietly improving the back end of Painter (and there are more performance improvements here), with this release Corel has focused instead on how artists actually use the program, delivering basic-sounding updates that combine to make working with Painter 2022 far easier, less frustrating and more fun.
