Is it possible to, instead od a solid color, to apply a gradient with a brush? If it is. I'd like to know how. If not, it would be a great feature to be able to do so, and would increase Pshop's paint ability immensely.

You can set a brush to fade by a specified number of steps in 'Brush dynamics'. It's the square button (see image) that appears on the tool bar when you select the paint/history/air brush. Click on it and you can set a 'fade' for brush size, opacity and colour.

Well, I mean more like a gradient between two colors. Like white to blue, and like that

One way to do it is..... create the gradient you want on a blank canvas.. under edit>define pattern, save it.. then open the pattern stamp tool,load your saved pattern(gradient)and paint away. SWAMP

Hi bone, if i understand you correctly, this what you're talking about?

Play around with the CONTROL "Fade" settings. With it set at 50, the colour change occurs "midway" through.

ah cool, okay, I was more talkin about sideways than lengthways, but if I can do that, I should be able to finagle it

bonestructure, I think it will work in either direction as from what I see in retrocity's image. The control is fade from Foreground to Background and that is irregardless of direction.

I'm assuming you want the gradiant effect to take place across the width of the stroke for the entire length of the stroke (like mixing red on half a brush and blue on the other half and then painting a long stoke that blends from red to blue the entire length of the stroke). The fade set up works from the begining of the stroke to the end of it so that won't get you fade you're talking about. The only way I can see doing what your talking about in Photoshop would be to create a section of gradiant and then use the smuge tool on it. That would be teadious though. I don't know if you have Painter or not but in painter you can control the color of the 'bristles' more. I've never set one up to do a gradiant type stroke (gradating from side to side within the brush stroke) but it seems like it would be possible. If you find something that works (in Photoshop, please post it! I'd be interested in knowing how to do something like that.

That's exactly what I want deep. There's this woman on PBS that does a show called one stroke painting. And while she's a crappy artist, she gets some really interesting effects I'd love to try to duplicate in photoshop.
