Where are layers in texture painting

[stilltrying]

OK I should know this but I haven’t used texture painting in Blender ever. Thought I would give it a try. First layer painting no issue. But then I need to add another layer to get the effect I want like you do in Gimp or Photo shop; can’t find it. Can you not texture in layers in Texture Paint and then blend them and change opacity?

You can have texture layers but you do it through the Shader Editor:

Jeez! Back to Gimp for me.

There’s a free add-on that implements texture layers in a more traditional way:

For simply drawings without grading color this will work.

The “greater than” generate a mask, because in my example black color is “nothing”, (any color above 0.02 value is the mask) then the mix node combine the images using the mask as reference.
