Request for a plug-in

[TwentyMonkeys]

Are there any plug-ins that would simulate painting with a brush to make tree leaves? There is no way to describe this so I will post a link to a video. The artist is the late Bob Ross. I want to try to create paintings on paint.net but using the "virtual" version of the method he uses. His method is to put paint on the brush and then tap it onto the canvas, creating what looks like foliage on trees.

Here is the video:

Guess not.

Many apologies. I saw this back when you posted, but didn't have the opportunity to reply, then forgot when I was later available

This should achieve the effect you are looking for. If you have farther trouble or it doesn't get you where you want, let me know and I'll do my best to assist.

Thanks. Unfortunately I know how to get and use custom brushes. I guess what I mean is, I'd like to see a plugin that will add more "paint" the longer you hold down the mouse button. One click will get you a "light tap" of the brush, while holding down the mouse button for 2 seconds will get you a harder tap, 4 seconds will get you an even harder darker tap, etc. I guess I don't know how to explain it.

Like if you have a tree leaf pattern brush......click the mouse once and you might only see 20% of the pattern and the longer you hold the mouse button the more of the pattern you'll see.

I see what you mean now. Sadly, there is no easy way to do this. If you want it as a brush, you will have to wait for paint.net 4.0 to be released. Otherwise, it's going to have to be manual work with custom brushes and layers
