William Overington Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 DAUB® Watercolours & Washes Are the brushes in https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/store/product/daub-watercolours-and-washes-brush-pack/ usable on a Windows 10 laptop using the built in mouse-substitute of the laptop, or does one really need to get some sort of external pad and stylus? If the latter, any recommendations for what to buy that can plug into a USB port of the computer would be helpful please. I am just starting to learn Affinity Designer. I have all three applications. I have watched the video. https://affinityspotlight.com/article/watercolours-and-washes-raster-brushes-by-daub/ William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

MichaDE Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi William! I've bought DAUB Watercolours & Washes a view days ago. So I've made a tiny demo for you. If you're using a mouse or trackpad on your PC, you can use basic-functions. The upper demo Shows one stroke and I left a small gap. Then I've painted the gap - see the result. When you're using a grafic-tablet, there are more functions. I've used "pressure" in my case. See the difference? Same one the second stroke. It looks more natural to my eyes. Don't Forget, that you can tweek the burshes to meet your needs. Recommendations for grafic-tablets is not an easy topic. You can spend hundrets of Euros or just some. If it's your first time trying one I would recomment to stay on the lower end first. Not everyone likes those devices.
