With Adobe Fresco, you get a large collection of brushes, both raster and vector. Mixer brushes that are added within pixel brushes help you create realistic painting experience within your artworks. Coupled with great blending and mixing properties, mixer brushes help you blend and mix multiple colors on the canvas simultaneously.

- From the list of mixer brushes, select the required mixer brush.
- Change the brush size, flow, and smoothing as required.
- From the Color panel, adjust the color and opacity.
- Tap the Brush settings icon and fine-tune the brush settings.
As you change the settings of a mixer brush, you can draw and preview the effect live. The following options are available in the Brush settings panel.
- Spacing Use the slider to adjust the spacing of your brush.
- Shape dynamics Set the size, angle, and roundness of the brush.
- Scattering Choose an option to control how you want the brush tip to scatter along the axes to create a spraylike stroke.
- Transfer Choose an option to control how the paint changes over the course of a stroke.
- Mixing Choose an option to control how the paint mixes. For example, Wet controls the amount of paint the brush picks up from the canvas.
After the mixer brush type is set, you can blend and paint using multiple colors on the same layer. Go ahead and discover the joy of creating realistic paintings using mixer brushes.
