Working with Live Paint
Live Paint lets you paint vector graphics intuitively, by automatically detecting and
correcting gaps that might otherwise affect the application of fills and strokes. Paths divide
the drawing surface into areas which can be colored, whether the area is bounded by a single
path or by segments of multiple paths. Painting objects with Live Paint is like coloring in a
coloring book or using watercolors to paint a sketch, and the underlying shapes are not
edited.
Note
To learn more about Live Paint and all that it can do, search for “Live Paint
groups” in Illustrator Help (Help > Illustrator Help).
