Hi,

I am new at using (downloaded) brushes and am not really sure how to use them correctly. The problem is not in loading them (I can do that OK) but I can't seem to get them to look realistic.

For example, I have downloaded some grass brushes. When loaded they take on the foreground colour, in this case I have made it green, but they look transparent and lifeless. It is the same with water/waves brushes. There is no way that I could use them like this in any artwork. Now I know I am doing something wrong but I don't know what.

Any help would be appreciated - thank you :)

Cheers,
Pajama.
