I’m sorry, but I think you got to the same issue that other people are having here: Brush engine: Is it possible to have a pattern blending mode like this? . You can try emulating it with Masked Brush but the general consensus is that we need something more in Krita to be able to make the pattern brushes better. For the more general discussion, it’s better to continue it there to keep everything in one thread, but I won’t close this thread since there is still a valid question how to attempt it with Masked Brush (even though it won’t be perfect).
