Step 1: Setting Up and Exploring a Mixer Brush with the Tablet and Pen In this lesson, we'll use the Grip Pen that's included with the Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. The Art Pen recognizes rotation of the artist's hand, in addition to pressure, tilt, and bearing (which the Grip Pen recognizes). I use a Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet and a Grip Pen or an Art Pen. To achieve the richest expression with the Mixer brushes, a tablet and stylus are recommended.

Figure 1 Tulip Study was painted using my Wacom tablet and pen, as well as special Mixer brushes in Photoshop CC.
