Vector based Paint Synth presets painting.Textured quality in the presets give a nice effect.Two layers. Bottom layer is a watercolor paper texture with a little under paint stoke or two on it. Top layer is set too Mult1. The vector presets blend a little with what is on the canvas - like real paint would as strokes are brushed over each other.

Cool. Is the paper texture part associated with the paint preset used for the bottom layer coming from an image brush, image background texture, MSG Brush Load, vector pattern inherent in the vector fill, or?
I used this big backdrop in this case because I was lazy and didn't want to create my own textured layer inside of SA. I just wanted to test the vector presets on some kind textured paper sort of background.
I just realized the composition is a slightly older versions saved out. This is the one that matches the screen grabs.
I asked because there are a ton of paint or PASeq presets that incorporate the 'canvas texture' thing into the preset directly using one of the various options i mentioned. A lot of the factory PASeq presets use an action step that embeds a MSG preset into a paint preset, and the embedded MSG part generates the canvas texture procedurally. Others use a self tiling image background texture as a part of the paint preset. And i've seen vector paint effects that can generate a raised textured look as well.
I've been focused on this recently because i see the look of it coming up in gallery show runs that are testing the entire factory preset collection. And if you setup gallery show so that the automatic intelligent selection masking works off of the contents in the canvas (as opposed to let's say the source), then the auto-selection starts building structure that grows out of the texture patterns in the canvas (if that makes any sense).

Screen grabs of under and over layers

The paper texture is just a big bitmap.
