Blending
Paint blending simulator for wet color.
Paintmoo keeps color blending visible instead of fake-smooth. Load a brush, drag it through wet paint, and the mix changes the way a real stroke does.
What the simulator is showing
It is not a flat blend slider. The brush carries color, the canvas keeps some memory, and repeated passes push the mix toward mud or softness depending on what you do next.
Why blending feels different here
Wet paint mixes with what is already on the surface. That gives you dragged edges, partial covers, and color that keeps moving. The whole point is to make those changes visible, especially when you pull a clean stroke back through a loaded one.
If you want the broader explanation, read how color mixing works. If the brush behavior is the part you care about, open the oil brush simulation notes.
How to use it in practice
- Lay down a bold stroke and let it sit for a second.
- Drag a second color through the wet edge.
- Clean the brush and pull it back through the same area to see what lifts.
That sequence shows the useful part of the simulator. It is about how paint moves when you work it again, not about a perfect one-click blend.
Frequently asked questions
What makes this different from a flat blend tool?
The brush carries color, the canvas keeps some memory, and repeated passes change the mix instead of snapping to one new color.
What should I try first?
Pull a loaded brush through wet paint, then make a second pass with a cleaner brush and watch the edge soften or lift.
Where does this fit in the app?
It shows up when you are mixing color on the canvas or cleaning a passage without flattening everything underneath.
See it in practice
Open Paintmoo and pull a loaded brush through an existing passage. If you want the broader explanation, read the digital color mixing guide.
