Suggestion : duration between two brushstrokes

hello, here is a suggestion, if it's possible or not, i don't know !

example : Today, we can obtain the blending behaviour of this suggestion, with : transparency = 0 if pen-pressure is under a certain number. (see picture 1 : pen-pressure graph for transparency : when the pressure is low, transparency is zero)
As a useful result (see picture 2, B and C blending zone) the pen can paint different areas, and come back to the first area but then it blends like if the brush never had left this zone (even if the brush blend mode is darken, like a marker would do if we don't wait too long)

But it's not very practical, because we have to keep the pen and the tablet in contact.
This suggestion is to let the pen leave the tablet, but with the same blending result (see picture 2, part B and C)

In other words : with only one brush, the blending zone between two brushstrokes can be different if a certain duration between those 2 brushstrokes is exceeded or not. It's like a drying time.
But, the brush blending mode has to remain the same.

if the pen leaves the tablet and then touches the tablet again during this configurable amount of time, then the stroke behaves as if only its transparency went = 0 when the pen wasn't touching the tablet.

Picture 2 : One brush used , 3 brushstrokes(so 3 different painted areas)
A : today PSS. One brush, 3 brushstrokes.
B and C : PSS with suggestion. One brush, 3 brushstrokes. But two different blending Results (R) depending on the time between two brushstrokes.

As I understand, all you need is to create a half-transparent layer and draw in it with an opaque brush:

hy, thanks for the answer, but this suggestion aims to make both B and C possible with a same brush and same layer.

An opaque brush allows B, but excludes C.

the Picture 1 : pen-pressure graph for transparency, allows B and C with a same brush, but is not very easy to use.

Hm, maybe use not a pen pressure but pen tilt or rotation, in this way you can catch the fixed value of a slider.
