My Painter 2021 workspace is now available for download. Other than some new brushes and a few minor changes, everything is about the same. Updates are listed below.
NEW WORKSPACE BRUSHES:
- Radial Lines (Effects) – Creates lines that radiate from the center. Change colors with a Gradient or other type of “Source” in the General Panel.
- Oily Bleed (Oily) – A blender that makes paint runny.
- Oily Forest (Oily) – An oily brush that makes distant hills with trees. Utilize “Paper Grain” to change the shape of the edge.
- Wet Break (Thick Paint) – Requires you to paint on top of Thick Paint. Gives you a dry paint-break effect.
- TP Blender Wet Edge (Thick Paint) – A blender that creates a wet-looking edge.
- TP Blender Knife (Thick Paint) – A smudgy blender with a palette knife shape.
- Thick Texturizer (Thick Paint) – Requires Visible Depth. Useful for adding texture to Thick Paint.
- Thick Random Dabs (Thick Paint) – Creates a multitude of random dabs for an impressionist effect.
- Marbled Paint (Thick Paint) – Utilizes “Clone Tinting” to deposit paint with varied color. Change “Clone Source” for more effects.
- Wet Replace Knife AR (Watercolor) – Use heavy pressure to deposit paint and light pressure to remove it. Dab can be rotated with Wacom Art Pen.
- Wet Splatter CT (Watercolor) – Utilizes “Clone Tinting” to deposit watercolor with varied color. Change “Clone Source” for more effects.

Please note that the files on my Dropbox have been updated with Painter 2021 content. If you’d like to access the Painter 2020 version of my workspace and brushes, those have been archived in the Workspace folder on my Dropbox. I will no longer be updating my 2020 workspace file, but I will still be offering the individual brushes and BOX files so you can continue to update your 2020 workspace. “Thick Paint-Compatible” brushes will not be compatible with Painter 2020 and older, but many other brush types I release will.
Here is a description of what is compatible with Painter 2020 in this release.
