If you're looking to add some extra dimension and visual interest to your 3D models in Blender, then you'll want to know how to texture paint. Texture painting is a technique that allows you to paint directly on to the surface of your model, giving you complete control over the look and feel of the final result.

To get started, you'll need to enable texture painting in the 'Shading' tab of the 'Render' properties panel. Once you've done that, you can switch to the 'Texture Paint' mode in the 'Tool' tab.

Now you're ready to start painting! By default, Blender will use the currently active texture as the paintbrush. If you don't have a texture set up yet, you can create one by clicking the 'New' button in the 'Textures' panel.

Once you have a texture selected, you can use the various painting tools in the 'Tool' tab to start painting on your model. The 'Draw' tool is great for painting large areas, while the 'Smear' tool is perfect for blending and smoothing out your paint job.

Experiment with the different tools and settings until you get the hang of things, and you'll be creating beautiful textured models in no time!
