Corel Painter is entirely different. For almost 30 years, Painter has dedicated itself to helping its users create real art on their computers.The key to Painter’s approach and success is its extraordinary range of brushes. There are dozens of categories on offer, based on real artists’ tools – acrylics, chalk and crayons, gouache, markers, pencils, oils, oil pastels, watercolours and many more. Each category provides access to between ten and 30 presets, meaning that there are literally hundreds of brushes to choose from. Indeed, there are so many brushes that finding the right one can be difficult.
Features
Brush Search engine
Find and select the perfect brush quickly and easily. Just type the name or properties of any brush and Painter will find it for you. The visual preview lets you ensure each brush is exactly what you're looking for.
Stroke preview
See exactly what each brush stroke will look like on your canvas. Preview brush parameters such as Mixing, Erasing, Blending and Jitter. The preview adjusts in real-time as you experiment with brushes and paper textures. No more test canvases required!
Advanced Brush Controls
Edit and optimize brushes with a few simple clicks. The new brush optimizer highlights the primary parameters of each brush. Plus, make more advanced edits and preview changes on the fly. Learning and working with brushes has never been easier.
Jitter brushes
Use pre-built Jitter brushes to simulate those random elements and "happy accidents" that can occur when using real world media. For added effect, customize the pre-built Jitter brushes further to create more organic, natural-looking art.
Jitter expression
Add Jitter to all your Painter brushes and adjust for brush expressions such as Opacity, Grain, Size, Angle and more! It's the perfect way to add a unique element of randomness to your art.
