User Guide
Once you’ve made a Live Paint group, each path remains fully editable. When you move or adjust a path’s shape, the
colors that had been previously applied don’t just stay where they were, like they do in natural media paintings or
image editing programs. Instead, Illustrator automatically reapplies them to the new regions that are formed by the
edited paths.
In short, Live Paint combines the intuitiveness of a painting program with the power and flexibility of a vector illus­
tration program.

The paintable parts of Live Paint groups are called edges and faces . An edge is the portion of a path between where it
intersects with other paths. A face is the area enclosed by one or more edges. You can stroke edges and fill faces.
Take, for example, a circle with a line drawn across it. You can convert these two objects to a Live Paint group with
the Object > Live Paint > Make command. As a Live Paint group, the line (edge) dividing the circle creates two faces
in the circle. You can fill each face and stroke each edge with a different color using the Live Paint Bucket tool.

Modifying the paths in a Live Paint group modifies existing faces and edges, and can create new ones as well. When
you edit a path, Illustrator attempts to color the modified or new faces and edges to get the results you expect.
However, if the results are not what you expect, you can reapply the colors you want.

As you add more paths to the Live Paint group, you can fill and stroke the new faces and edges that are created.
