                      Mixer Brush Tool
                 Mixer Brush Tool lets you paint in Photoshop as if you are painting on a real canvas. It lets you pick
                 colour from the canvas. That is why it is also known as a realistic painting technique which mixes
                 colours on the canvas, combines colours on a brush and wetness across a stroke. It gives sober bristle
                 effects and textures that resemble those in paintings that you might create on a canvas. It mixes
                 with the colour in the background and with the canvas itself. It converts photos into artwork without
                 applying filters, etc.

                 Follow the below steps to use the Mixer Brush Tool:

                         select the desired colour. Or press Alt key and click from where you wish to sample colour in
                         the current image.

                 Step 4:   Set various options in the Options
                         bar according to your preferences.
