The Smear tool lets you smear existing pigment, including pigment that has no volume on the canvas, such as pencil strokes. The tool simulates the effects of dragging a cloth or finger through chalk or pencil strokes on a canvas.
You can use the Smear tool to create a smudging effect on dry pigment, or to create a smearing effect on wet pigment.
