    Custom brushes allow for blending and deposition of color in a quite natural way.

    Here is a custom brush I previously uploaded.

    I used it to create this:

    Thank you very much, DarkOwnt! Your brush is really very nice to use. Unfortunately, however, it lacks the blending function, which characterises the brush in Krita instead. Being able to switch between drawing colour, glazing and blending colours all with one brush by simply using the level of pressure gives you extraordinary and direct control. If, for example, I am blending a red with a yellow, I don't need to worry about the colour I have selected at that moment because, by exerting a very light pressure, the brush will not release colour but will simply act as a perfect blender.
    Unfortunately, due to my poor English, I have to use an online translator to write these messages so I apologise if they are a bit incomprehensible.

    You will not be able to make a two in one brush (based on pressure) as in Krita. If a brush is loaded with paint in ArtRage, it is on the tip and you can't avoid making a mark with it however light your pressure. Loading can run out though, so you can lay down all the paint and then end up just blending. In that sense you can have a two in one brush in ArtRage ... based on loading.

    If you want a brushy blender, you can make a copy of your favorite custom brush (save under a new name) and just reduce Color Refresh to 0, and that creates a blend only brush.

    Welcome Charly. If you turn off the loading on oil and watercolour brushes they then become blenders. So you could apply paint and blend with the same brush.

    Oh God of homeless things, look down
    And try to ease the way
    Of all the little weary paws
    That walk the world
    today.
