Hello,
Quick update:
I have looked at a couple of proposed brushes. Mojo MOO Draw for Krita moo-office-ballpoint-pretty is interesting but not quite what I want. @Daishishi Zebra Marple Mock-Up is pretty darn close and I may just use that. I like that it picks a different starting color on each new stroke giving each stroke its own flavor. I also like the texture of the stroke. Thank you.
I did explore the possibility of a Python Plugin to no avail. I got a docker with a button and a callback running. The button calls the callback which adjusts the foreground color programmatically when I click it. But I can only seem to hook my callback to my own widgets. I can’t find anywhere else in the program to hook into. And according to this thread from January 2020:
… there are no on-canvas hooks. So Python Plugin is a dead end.
I may explore the possibility of creating a massive RGBA animated brush or a gradient mapped animated brush. The frames (I agree there will be alot of them, but for a different reason) would animate the transitions and swirls between the colors.

(Sorry, I can only post two links at my current level)
It’s late now. I’ll look at it more next weekend. For now, I’m going to use Daishishi’s Zebra Marple Mock-Up.
Thank you all again,
