I have a preference for Corel Painter, working with an intuos 4. I may post something in here eventually.

I've been using Photoshop for over a decade, but I've been looking for something that would give me more traditional painting tools. Does Corel Painter let you mix paints and use techiques like dry brush and wet brush?

If you're using the full version of PS (not Elements), you can find a ton of brushes that work very very similar or you can make them yourselves. It has a massive brush engine and they've included bristles in the latest version. Painter comes with all sorts of traditional tools preloaded though. You'd have to check, but usually Wacom came with an light version of Corel Painter and Photoshop (or either). You can try it out and see maybe if you want the full... it's a cool program, but I prefer Photoshop, it just seems to go better with my workflow.

Yeah I'm very familiar with Photoshop's brush tools and I have a bunch of brushes that I've made my self. I'm just interested in Corel Painter if it simulates painting in a more natural way, if you know what I mean. If it has a demo I'll check it out. But yeah, I love Photoshop too.

Yes, it has a mixer and you can 'load paint' in the brush,etc... Corel Painter has so many traditional tools, your head would spin. It's like walking into an art store and picking out what you like... in the menus anyway. It is definitely a very nice experimenting program since you can mix media... I believe you can also use textured paper as well.

Yes, you can choose and even create the texture of your canvas. You can work with dry as well as wet brushes and they all behave differently and realistically.
There's a lot of artists out there who use Painter only to do all their work. You can use it in temdem with Photoshop as well.
I prefer Painter over Photoshop because it's more straight forward and the tools are really centered around creating the feel of traditional mediums. You should really give it a try.
