Dry Tool Properties

Dry the water off the layer using dry brushes.

Activate the Dry tool by clicking the button in the Tools panel or by tapping the Y shortcut.

Size - Select the size of the dry tool (1-100).

Absorbency - Select the power of the dry tool's absorbency (1-100).

The higher the number selected, the faster the water is absorbed.

Keep Layer Wet - Enable this option if you want to keep the dried area on canvas wet for further painting. The dry tool completely dries the areas by default.

Tip

Water and Dry tools also have brushes to choose from - you can use them to create nice wet effects.

Note

Water and Dry tools automatically switch on the 'Show wet' mode. You can change this via the menu: Edit > Preferences > Tools by disabling the option 'Show wet layer when using Water or Dry tools'.
