Okay so I am relatively new to Painter 11 but not new to digital painting. I understand a bit about how the layers / canvas works in Painter.

The issue i'm having is that my canvas is just blank white, but the layers on top will always pick up a white "paint" color making it nearly impossible to get the right colors when painting in the blank area of a layer above the canvas.

Is there a way to "dry" the canvas layer or basically keep the layers on top from picking up its white "paint"???

Thanks!
