<a name="1007745"> </a>In Corel Painter, paper textures, gradients, patterns, and weaves can all be applied to your image. You can brush some of them on, get them to interact with each other, spray them, smear them, and even create your own. Best of all, you never have to run to the store in the middle of creating to get a new tube of paint or the right kind of paper.

<ul>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1010394"> </a>to load a Brush tool with media for painting</li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1010395"> </a>to fill selections with the <span style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">Effects menu > Fill</span> command or the Paint Bucket tool</li>
<li class="SmartList1"><a name="1010396"> </a>to control certain image effects, like Apply Surface Texture</li>
</ul>

<a name="1010397"> </a>This chapter explains how to select, customize, and create textures, patterns, and weaves, as well as how to save them to a library for future use.

<a name="1010398"> </a>Papers, patterns, and weaves all use libraries. The default libraries offer sample materials. You'll find more libraries, with additional materials, on the Corel Painter CD and on the Corel Web site. For more information about libraries, including how to load alternate libraries, create your own libraries, and manage library content, refer to <a href="02-Workspace13.html#999961">"What are Libraries?"</a>.
