After I download them, what to do next? I am just confused after I import it, what is meant by "drill a hole in the dot". I simply just want a wet white canvas to paint over and blend with other oil paints. After 10 years, there's got to be an easier, more clear way to accomplish this with ArtRage.
Also, what about the issue on painting snow on the mountains using a Landscape Painting Knife? Can that be done with ArtRage and creating that speckled texture on the mountainside like Ross does it?

You can get that effect with the Paint Roller. No need to go through the trouble of exporting and all that. Just select a pure white color on the color picker, select the Paint Roller and set its options to use 0% Pressure, 0% Thinners, and 100% Loading. Make a single stroke with the tool on the canvas and then use the Transform tool to expand the white mark to encompass the canvas. You now have a Wet "Liquid White" canvas to paint on. If you need to see this done first hand, here's a video demonstration:
As for the mountains, you could use the Palette knife to both add color and blend color out with it's edge (using its "Flat" settings) and then blend out any harsh edges from that with the Pastel tool set to its "wax" setting. Its not a demonstration of it, but I use the technique in this video done in ArtRage 4 (mountains are added at around the 2:00 minute mark):

Nothing is easy to the unwilling.
