Here is a challenge. See if you can come close to duplicating this effect.

Actually, it is not really out of anyone's range. Just playing around with the gradient tool will surprise you with what comes out of simply experimenting with it. Give it a try. :)


Open the gradient tool, set the blend mode to "different", then just choose one of the gradients and then choose the gradient type. Click on the canvas, move the cursor and click again and again, see what appears.

Bobbi Thanks for the info but where am I likely to find the Gradient tool :confused:

Eighty, look at the Art Rage canvas. You should see the tool palette in the lower left hand corner of the screen. There is a "bucket" or you might call it a pail. Click on that. That is the gradient tool. When that opens, (There are three tabs) click on the middle tab. That is the gradient tab. Look at the window just below the Opacity control. To the right of that is a small block with lines. Tap on that and it will open a selection of gradients. Select one.

Next, look at the gradient type. select one. Also, look at the bar just below the gradient tab at the top. It should say "Blend Mode: Click on the arrow and select "Difference".

From there, just click on the canvas with your mouse, if that is what you are using. You should see a gradient pattern. Move the cursor anywhere and click again. Move the cursor again and click again. Should be interesting.

Do not get impatient, simply experiment. You may be pleasantly surprised with what you find.

If you wish, I have a You Tube video that may help further. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePz6LsGjRHg

It looks like you chose Stencils instead of the gradients. Now, don't go "jumping" to conclusions. I am going to try to do some screenshots to show you what I am trying to explain about gradients. Hope you will be patient. :)

Eighty, this is for you. Hopefully you can get a better sense of what I do with the gradient tool just for fun. Click on this link: https://youtu.be/0R7Q3CUwcAA

If it helps, enjoy experimenting with the gradient tool.

You got it!!!!! Now, have some fun experimenting. By the way, quit using your age as an excuse. You have more capability then you want to admit. I am not too far behind you and I have figured out that learning is not just for the young. Our brains were meant to continue learning.

Hi Bobbi, I was playing around with stencils to design a new tattoo for myself. Over the last few years I've used ArtRage mainly for free hand pen drawings and sometimes coloring them with any tool that's appropriate, including gradients. But for this purpose I started to dig a bit deeper into stencils.
Using stencils with tools like paintbrush does exactly what I expect. But the gradient tool doesn't seem to work. As in: the stencil doesn't restrict it to that area. I tried to see if I could use the freehand selection tool to use the stencil. no success

I found a workaround: use stencil, fill it with solid color, use magic want selection tool, then use gradient.
It works nicely. But I tried to search for an easier answer, and stumbled upon your thread (nice use of the gradient btw!)

maybe you have experience with this.

thanks in advance.

George, I have worked with stencils with what I think you may find useful. With the stencil you want to use, try inverting the stencil, filling it with a solid color. Hide the stencil and go "Edit" tab and find the "select layer contents". That should select the design from the stencil. That should make the design isolated. Go to the gradient tool and choose one and then fill your design. That might be a bit easier then the magic wand. If nothing else, it is another way to do the job.
