Brayers and Wax Brush Set

A Breakthrough in Painter’s Texture Palette Power #20 brushes

The original, genre-shifting texture brush set that introduced the world to Painter’s true layering potential.

After two long years of development, this foundational brush set launched! Brayers & Wax was Heather’s first major exploration into Corel Painter’s Texture Palette functionality—long before most artists even realized what it was capable of. Inspired by the physical beauty of encaustic and wax-based layering techniques, this set harnesses the natural breaks, skips, and tactile nuances found in prepared boards, distressed surfaces, and aged materials.

Designed specifically for Corel Painter 2020, these brushes are expressive, layered, and unmistakably bold. They’re perfect for artists seeking to introduce elegant surface irregularities, raw edge transitions, and an organic sense of texture into their digital workflow.

What’s Included:

Brayers & Wax 2020.brushcategory – 20 brushes in this Custom brush set designed for Painter’s Texture Palette engine
Heather’s Starter Texture Pack (11 high-res textures) – Specifically designed for this set
Beginner PDF User Guide – A clear, simple walkthrough to get you started
5 Brayers & Wax Reference Sheets – Visual guides for brush behavior and results

Inspired from the delicious process of wax and encaustic, these brushes bring layering to life. The rigid skips and breaks that merge together with a blow torch on your final pass make the heart skip a beat. And the texture that encourage those "breaks" have been provided for you with Heather's Starter Texture Pack that was designed specifically for this brush pack.

Why You’ll Love It:

✦ Harnesses Painter’s Texture Palette – Leverages underused power to create true digital texture layering
✦ Inspired by Real Media – Based on the look and feel of wax, brayers, encaustic passes, and hot-layer fusion
✦ Organic Results – Perfect for backgrounds, expressive portraits, still life, landscapes, and painterly composites
✦ Versatile Cloners, Color Brushes & Blenders – Not just for abstract work—great for realism with organic breaks

FAQs:

Are these brushes found in other packs?
Not in this form. Three flat brushes originated from Heather’s Everyday set but have been fully rebuilt and optimized for the Texture Palette and Painter 2020 engine. Their behavior and marks are completely different in this collection. Yes, they'll work in newer versions of Painter. Just brush calibrate them on the first use (and recommended weekly with large projects).

Do I need a Wacom Art Pen?
No. These brushes were designed for expressive freedom with or without a rotation barrel. While the Art Pen unlocks full nuance, the brushes still perform beautifully with a standard stylus.

Are they only for abstract work?
Absolutely not. While these brushes shine in expressive and experimental workflows, Heather has used them for portraits, backgrounds, still lifes, and landscapes. They create an elegant push-and-pull tension in any style.

Do I have to use your textures?
For best results—yes. Heather’s Starter Texture Pack was designed specifically for this set. While you can experiment with your own full-bleed textures, expect slightly flatter results if the pairing isn’t intentional.

Legacy Meets Innovation

Brayers & Wax isn’t just a brush set. It’s a turning point in digital painting—a tactile bridge between the physical and digital world.

"The rigid skips and soft seams echo the hot pass of a blowtorch across wax. These brushes don't just make marks—they build memory into the surface."
