What ancestry is giving is not the same as what dnapainter does. Ancestry is like a browser, not a painter, and currently ancestry is not entirely accurate.
If you want a better explanation join this facebook group:

The owner of the group, Blaine, is a professional genetic genealogist and explains really well the ancestry update and what it is and isn't. The group is also helpful at helping people work out DNA.
