This is the first tutorial I have ever made.
It explains how to color in Painter IX.

I once had many problems with the coloration of my artworks,
but unfortunately there weren't any Painter tutorials!
So i asked peoples and tried some of the functions there.

I really dont want you to waste your time, so i wrote the tutorial!
Hope, it helps you and you like it.


"(step 1)
at the beginning I have 2 layers:
the outlines/lineart as multiple layer and under that the layer with the main color green (no shadows/lightning yet and it's better to clean up the edges of the color-layer on this step, so you dont need to use the eraser that often anymore).
After that you click on "preserver transparency" on the color-layer (which i have regrettably found out after i have drawn this tutorial).

(step 2)
now add some more "maincolors" like yellow/green for the lightning, usual green and blue green for the cold reflection with the: "oil pastel - chunky brush" low opacity and also quite low resat (0% resat = mixing colors; 100% resat = not mixing).

The following step is mixing the colors with 0% resat and then it looks like the screenshot on step 3!
on step 4 you use the blender with 0% resat again, which makes the color-area really smooth.


Then I have added some more details, the result can be seen here:
