Sand Dune - Step 3

In this third and final Step, the Rough Surfaces Tab has delivered Source 1 onto the Palette so that some texture can be added to the Canvas - see the screen-grab below.

It is coloured brown, but you can de-saturate it by sliding the H/S Mixer down the screen until the read-out says 50,0.

In the two previous Steps, the A/B (Amount/Blend) Mixer was left untouched, but in this last Step see what happens to the Canvas when you click on the crosshairs and move them around. The A/B Mixer is covered in some detail in the AB (Amount/Blend) Mixer section of this Guide, but in summary it works like this:

• The up and down axis sets the type of blend that is used to add the Palette to the Canvas. The name of the blend, i.e. Dark Tint, Light Tint, Replace etc. is displayed in the box to the right of the Blend Mixer.

• The left to right axis controls the amount, or strength of the blend, setting and is represented by a percentage read-out - 100% is full strength and 50% is half strength.

For the purposes of this example, click, hold and drag the Blend Mixer’s crosshairs to 80,75 i.e. 75% Light Tint.

To finish off the ArtWizard, either click the Finish or Continue button which will close the ArtWizard and leave your finished picture on the Canvas. The Tab and ArtWizard Guide will slide out of view, and the panel containing the names of the ArtWizards will slide in from the left covering over the Mixers and Palette.
