Bring Traditional Painting to Life

Digital painting has evolved dramatically over the years. However, few painting programs offer the same organic beauty as real-world painting techniques. Where most painting applications try to simulate what it is like to use a computer screen and digital tablets, Rebelle allows artists of all skill levels to finally experience what it is like to use traditional painting mediums.

What Is Rebelle and Why Artists Love It

Rebelle allows artists to use various mediums to create digital art that simulates the experience of using traditional painting mediums. With the software, digital artists can enjoy using the same natural media as they use with their paint brushes, including watercolor, acrylic, ink, and oil paintings.

Artists of all genres can enjoy using this paint application. Whether you are a digital illustrator, a concept artist, a traditional painter looking to explore the digital world, a comic and storyboard creator, or even a creative hobbyist, Rebelle has something that will entertain and inspire you.

Watercolor artists can create their paintings to simulate the fluid nature of watercolor paints. Oil painters can create digital art with the thick textures that are characteristic of oil painting mediums. This product was also created to encourage artists to experiment and explore with their paint programs to discover what best fits their painting needs.

Features

Bristle Brushes PRO
