		<description><![CDATA[Although I believe I have subscribed to the Painter Canvas Newsletter, there seems to be an issue of actually receiving it or being notified of new issue availability. Thankfully the nice people at Corel use a sequential url naming convention when they publish subsequent issues each month.
Thankfully too, there are applications available to check url&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Continuing from part 1, I firstly want to introduce the third brush variant, again created in Painter IX. This variant also uses the luminosity of the current selected pattern to control the angle in the brush stroke, but this time the brush is a captured dab. While experimenting with the settings, I discovered an interesting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A major problem with sharing Painter brushes with other users is that the associated xml files are not backward compatible with earlier versions. Developments in the brush engine mean that in some cases, an equivalent variant cannot be recreated in an earlier Painter version (RealBristle brush variants for example). In many cases however, it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Certainly from Painter 6 onwards (maybe in earlier versions too), there has been an option to randomly move the paper grain texture with each brush stroke made.
 Randomizing the brush stroke grain can yield some interesting and useful textures in combination with a suitable variant and a paper with a medium to high level of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just been dabbling with the Auto-Painting palette in Painter IX.5. After a little experimenting, I came up with some potentially useful auto-painted cross hatching and other textures in conjunction with the default Nervous Pen variant at 0% brush size (set in the Auto-Painting palette).
