Lesson 3. Painting

The Color and Swatches palettes let you apply, modify, and save colors in your artwork. You can paint with HSB, RGB, Web-safe RGB, or CMYK colors, grayscale, global process and spot colors, patterns, and gradients of blended colors. With the new Brushes palette, you can apply art or patterns to the path of an object.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to do the following:

  • Paint with, create, and edit colors.

  • Name and save colors, and build a color palette.

  • Copy paint and appearance attributes from one object to another.

  • Adjust the saturation of a color.

  • Paint with gradients, patterns, and brushes.
