Well, we've got most of a Corel Painter style color mixer ready and done -- it just needs fixing since it broke a couple of years ago. 

For on canvas smudging and mixing while painting -- I know that Silvio Heinrich still wants to work on a new version of the color smudge brush, but right now, I though that the color smudge brush was pretty okay...

Most of that is already supported -- we have a perspective grid and the painting assistants which allow for perspective. And the brush parameters can change with the perspective as well.

Would be very cool indeed -- but I'm not sure for 2.5, unless someone steps up and codes it. I do hope that 2.5 won't take a year and a half :-)
