One excellent way to learn about styles is to load some that other people have created, and look at the Blending Options dialog to see what settings they used, and to play with each setting to see just what it does. Here is a link to Sonarpos' great gallery of free style downloads - check it out. I've also shared some of my own styles with you in the optional section below. You can see just how varied a style can be. With all the different settings you can play with, there are literally millions of possible combinations.
