Important Compatibility & Usage Notes

Before using the Brushed to Likeness: Skin + Detail Brushes, please read the following:

Painter Version Requirement

These brushes are built exclusively for Corel Painter 2023 and take advantage of the updated brush engine. They are not compatible with earlier versions of Painter and may cause crashing if loaded. Do not attempt to install in older versions.

Brush Type Information

These are bristle-based brushes, not dab stencils. As such, they do not utilize the Texture palette in Corel Painter. All texture and edge behavior comes from natural bristle interaction and pressure response—not stencil overlays or dab textures.

Layer Compatibility

These brushes work beautifully on transparent layers as well as directly on the canvas layer. Whether you're working in a multi-layered painting workflow or prefer building up from a single base, they’ll retain their pressure response and edge fidelity.

Versatile Use Beyond Skin

While originally designed for skin realism and fine facial details, many of these brushes work beautifully in other areas:

Fur and animal hair
Fabric textures or delicate clothing rendering
Fantasy or abstract portraits requiring fine blending or precision hair strokes

Feel free to explore cross-genre application—these brushes are meant to serve your hand, not box you in.

Not Photoshop-Compatible

These are Corel Painter-specific brushes. They do not function in Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, or other painting software. If you attempt to load them into incompatible platforms, nothing will happen—or worse, errors may occur.
