I am experimenting with the new Grasslands Map Pack to learn to make maps with it. Most of the tools, like using tiles to create the background and using the stamp to put in details, are fairly intuitive. However, I am struggling with how to use the fills. Is there a tutorial video on this? In particular. I was trying to make a circular pond and then put the animated water overlay on top of it.

Joshua normally previews the art packs right before they are released on his stream. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3h0dIaiayC9HEfu73vRNoTFVHqHwMd2s
I'm not sure which one, but one of those videos should answer your questions. But maybe someone would be able to answer here too.

There are not many specifics but if you are willing to watch Josh Watmough's video show on most Saturdays and the official Fantasy Grounds YouTube channel, he paints with the newer assets and gives is previews. If yo watch last Saturday's archive, you might pick up on techniques and tips.

Then June 17th video specifically goes through this art pack - and includes making a pond.

I watched the video and then went back and played with the map making tool for a little while. I think I am getting the hang of it now. Thanks for the help.
