Canvas

* Unused Canvas
* Painted Canvas

The **Canvas** is an exclusive and limited-use tool for the Painter, Edgar Valden. It cannot be obtained by other survivors, however, unlike most exclusive tools, once both Canvases are used and placed Edgar can obtain a new item from Chests.

## Gameplay

*See also: Artistic Sensitivity*
Before any of this item can be used, the Painter must directly see the face of the Hunter for \_ seconds within a relatively close distance. The Painter must then take some time to paint each Canvas before it can be placed. The painting process can be stopped and resumed at any time so long as he isn't incapacitated, in a Rocket Chair, or under the effect of Tide Turner. He can interact with pallets and vaultable windows, but the painting process will stop while and after he is interacting.

Once a painting is completed, it can be placed anywhere on flat ground on a map. Around it will be a visible circle of effect with a blue line, which shows where it will begin to affect the Hunter. Once the hunter steps into the circle and is looking at the painting, they will be forcibly drawn in front

* It is best to place a painting relatively close to the Hunter and in front of them, so they cannot avoid it.
* The trait Excitement can be used against a placed painting, which causes it to disappear.
	+ Hunters can avoid being drawn to the painting, even when within the circle of effect, **by not looking at it with their camera**. So be sure to place the painting where the Hunter will look at it.
* Common Canvas placement locations:
	+ In front of an undropped Pallet, which will then be dropped on top of the Hunter to lengthen the stun time.
	+ Next to a chaired teammate, who is being 'camped' by a Hunter, giving them time to rescue while the Hunter is distracted.
	+ Next to Exit Gates, which will help protect the decoder from Teleport and gives time to their teammates to escape out the gate if they are being chased nearby.

### Accessory Changes

#### S-Tier

* Pandora -
	+ While the Painter is in the painting animation, a swirl of golden light wraps around his left arm (the one holding the brush). Additional golden and red petals fall from his back, and the canvas glows in a gold light as the painting on it forms. It depicts what appears to be a woman in a white dress on a dark background with black tear tracks running down her cheeks.
	+ When the Canvas is placed on the map, the new painting appears on it and golden vines reach up around its base. Multiple red and white flowers circle the base of the easel. Swirls of golden light wrap around it. When the hunter's stun animation ends, the paint fades away from the canvas and a white porcelain explodes around the easel.

#### A-Tier

* Scheele's Green - When the Canvas is placed on the map, the new painting is now green. Green and blue question marks will appear around the Hunter's head when they get attracted towards the painting. After stopping in front of the painting the question marks will replaced by three green exclamation marks.

## Trivia

* Initially released with 3 Canvases, the Painter was almost immediately nerfed after to only have 2.
