- Use Paint Shop Pro to open “dot.psp”
- Make sure that you are using orange for your color of paint using the color selector to the right
- From the Airbrush Control Panel, choose "Marble".
- Click on the "Brush Tip" tab.

- The larger the size of the brush, the more area it covers. The shape of the brush determines how the color is applied. If you set your brush size to 200 and the shape to square, then click dead-center in the graphic, you will fill the entire graphic with one click. Opacity determines how heavily the color is applied (low numbers, light application, large numbers, heavier application) and density determines how often the pattern is applied. The illustration above shows a typical setting for creating a pattern. The larger brush, round shape and heavy opacity works well for "painting" a pattern.
- Use the air brush tool to make your picture look like this. Remember you can always undo if you make a mistake.
