Here’s an interesting variant I’ve developed for Painter 7 upwards, which is effectively a dual purpose brush. At default settings, whatever texture you see in the Paper Preview window of the Papers palette is exactly how the stroke will look when painted. This assumes that both the Directional Grain and Invert Paper buttons have not been activated. By subsequently clicking the Invert Paper button in the Papers palette, the original light areas will become dark, and the dark areas will become light.

Directional Grain, especially when used in conjunction with this variant and a high contrast paper will produce a three dimensional texture, with shadow placement dependent upon the brush stroke direction.

With Directional Grain selected, and at default settings for the variant, the original white areas in the paper texture will appear as grey in the brush stroke. This can be changed however by selecting a light color shade for the main color before the stroke is made.
