i want colour in shapes described strokes , not described blue lines. i'm using cs6. have searched net i'm not using right keywords. if point me in right direction, i'd grateful

 

many thanks,

 

jim

your open paths have white fills applied. when click livepaint tool, flood-filling pre-existing white fills.

 

illustrator nothing photoshop. need read , work through documentation, or continue drive nuts.
