[Feature Request] wipe out excess paint drop

[Sodazer0]

Just like in real painting by hand it is very common to wipe out a drop of excess paint/water after the brush got refilled. This results in a way more precisely drawing experience.

It would be fantastic if the inkscape add-on could handle such behaviour.

One of the three water container could be abused as an dispose container for
those excess drops. A new brush remove-excess-drop-position would be necessary too.

The moment of the wipe out should be right after the refill, after the brush got dipped/wiped into the paint.

Right after the refill the brush moves to a empty water container and moves down to a position where the brush's hair is slightly beneath the edge of that container. In the next step the brush moves across that edge and wipes away the drop of excess paint.

From here starts the actual painting process.

A few thoughts on this request:

• I am concerned that this may be difficult in practice -- that is, if we implement it as described, it may be difficult for the end user to get the brush aligned and the presets adjusted "just so," so that the wiping action occurs, but does not tip over the dish.
• It may be possible and/or better to do this wiping on the edge of the top (dirtiest) water dish, rather than to have a separate dish for it.
• In previous discussions, we've always thought of having a sponge (or perhaps a piece of blotter paper) to wipe excess drips on. This would be an easier, broader target, for which we'd have higher hopes of success. Would software that supports putting a thin sponge in the 3rd water dish be sufficiently good as a solution?

Yes I like your suggestions.
The sponge Idea is very good. It should work as a good solution.
