Look at this post on to download the Texture Paint Layers Addon. Where to download the Texture Paint Layers Addon? Oh yes, if you are not so familiar with painting, like me, and wonder where the rubber is: You need to use the brush mode Erase Alpha I think. And with Shift + Spacebar you can select quickly another brush.

When you press then the Spacebar you will see all options for the Brush. And did you see in the latest Blender the nice menu on top where we have access to the color of the brush? And also strength etc? I like also to enable the build in addon called Dynamic Brush Menu’s. Take a look at the several blend modes available. Keep in mind that Layer 0 is the bottom layer, like in other paint programs like PhotoShop, Gimp or Krita. For the next layers you add there is no such issue. Mind the the menu jumps after adding the first layer, so you have to scroll down again. You can then give the layer a name and also add a second, third layer etc. But if you had already a material then you see the option to create a new layer. And in case you didn’t assign a material yet, you can now assign a material.

There go to the properties panel > Active Tool and Workspace settings (on top) and scroll down. Then we can go directly into the Texture Paint workspace in Blender. First you need to select an object you want to paint on. It’s pretty simple how the Texture Paint Layers addon works.
