Corel Painter IX questions

[efhx]

Hello :) I'm interested in buying this program so I'm messing with the trial now and was wondering if anyone knew how to change the paper settings? Wondering how to do that and also how do I get this Digital watercoloring working? Sounds interesting ;)

trying to get the same effect as here

and he said
this painting used painter 6.1's simple water & ETC brushs.

Edit: Got the paper settings and the digital watercoloring to work but for some reason with the Digital Watercoloring selected on a normal layer with basic paper selected the brushstroke goes completely white if i take alot of pressure off of my wacom pen.. is this normal for digital watercoloring or is this a setting that can be changed? heres an example http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5527/sdsdffds1xn.png

I think it's because you're working on a layer. Usually I think watercolor needs to be on the canvas. That or make sure you have the Pick Up Underlying colors boxed ticked in the layers window.

Also - there is a Painter Section here:http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23

Oh and... it's not just the tools. Alien1452 has lots of practice.

haha... Everyone thinks Alien is so good because of some painter secret.
I know the secret HARHARHAR but I won't tell you. The secret is so secret that I would have to kill you if I tell it to you. I will go now and create some Alienstyle art.
