dreamer101,

Yes, I know that and in finding a softer brush I was able to create the same sort of blending as the tutorial had, but the harder brush made it too obvious there was a difference between the top layer and the underlying layer.

But I've solved that now - what I wanted to know - for a different project.... well perhaps I'd better ask this in a new thread, so as not to confuse matters.

In the meantime Here's the texture I've created - actually I made two, one with the cresated brush and one using a selection of the original coloured brush stroke rather than the black and white brush that results when you use "define Brush" and ends up allowing you only the single colour.

Here's the one with the brush:

I do so wish you could actually make a brush with 2 colours rather than having to select the stroke with 2 colours and then layer it 350 times...then another 250 times... sigh.

Although I did prefer the texture created with the two colour stroke - it does take an immense amount of time compared to using a brush....

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the texture created with the selection of the stroke before it became a brush:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generally I much prefer this one, if you look closely it almost makes you think of tubular organisms under the sea, since it has an almost electron microscope look - only in blue.
