General Features

Painter. Keeping It Real. Naturally.

Thick Paint
• Plunge into a digital painting experience with voluminous media that lets you pile up, push around, carve into, scrape, and blend your way to realistic painted environments. Apply pressure, tilt, and rotation using Bristle Brushes, and work with Palette Knives to achieve realistic brushstrokes.

Cloning Capabilities
• Photo art tools has been improved, and the ability to collage and edit photo art is now even more user-friendly. Create clone sources in Painter 2018, or import and adjust the size and shape of your clone source on the fly. Experience the freedom of painting from transparent clone sources that seamlessly blend into your composition. You can also save your favorite clone sources with transparency to your library for use in future masterpieces.

Texture Synthesis
• Select an area of your canvas or a favorite texture and allow Painter to use its DNA to automatically generate a larger image for you. Use this texture fingerprint to add depth and detail to your final works of art. Best of all, you can save these expanded textures for use in your future works of art.

2.5D Texture Brushes
• Paint with 2.5D texture brushes that lift paint off the canvas. Import a 2D rendering of a 3D model and use source blending to brush on thick scales, pores, or nubby textures. Or, paint directly onto your canvas to add character to your art. Finish things off by adjusting the ambient surface lighting of the painted result.

Drip and Liquid Technologies
• Artist-favorite brushes that use drip or liquid technologies are now even more versatile. Paint with the Sargent brush on an empty layer while blending with underlying brushstrokes. Plus, with a wide range of fresh Natural-Media brushes, you'll find more inspiration for your canvas creations.

Selection Brushes
• Use Painter's selection brush tool, including the ability to customize unique brush shapes, in order to rapidly add or subtract from selections with precision and control. Once you select and customize the brush, you can save it to use repeatedly in forthcoming artwork.

Texture Fill
• Fill your canvas with dramatic textures. Whether using the Paint Bucket or the Fill Effect menu, your entire texture library is waiting to be artistically transferred to your canvas.

Random Grain Rotation
• Select your favorite grainy brush, enable the random grain rotation, and Painter will slightly rotate the grain in each individual stroke, creating a more natural and organic look to your work.

Included Content
• Explore the Natural-Media brush library for easy access to brushes that mimic traditional media, plus additional textures to add structure to your art. Find just what you need by exploring these 2018 brushes. Simply enter "2018" into the search window and your list of results will instantly appear.

Blank Canvas
• Painter includes all of the wet and dry media types you will need to easily transfer the vision in your head onto canvas. Sketch with pencils, pens, pastels, and markers. Paint with realistic airbrushes, gouache, oils, sumi-e, and watercolors.

Photo Art
• Cloning and photo-painting tools offer a productivity edge. Any brush that can be used on a blank canvas can also be dipped into an image to transform a photo into a work of art.

Canvas Textures

Papers
• Choose from a library of included canvas Paper textures. Adjust, import, or create your own and either cover or reveal texture using a variety of media types.

Flow Maps
• Flow maps are textures designed to maximize the creative potential of the Real Watercolor and Particle brushes by helping direct the flow of paint.

Textures
• Integrate intricate surface textures into your projects by selectively painting portions of the canvas or filling a selection with the texture of your choice.

Artist-Favorite Natural Media Categories

Artists Favorites
• Draw using the pressure sensitive Scratchboard Tool that produces controlled thick to thin strokes and use the Sargent brush to produce bold multi-shaded brushstrokes.

Chalk, Pastel, and Pencils
• Use hard media that reacts to pressure on the drawing tablet to produce highly textured marks that react to paper grain and shaded magic with the tilt of the stylus.

Real Watercolor
• Enjoy wet brushes that interact with paper texture and grain - flowing, mixing, and absorbing into the paper just like the real thing.

Professional Photo-Painting

Auto-Painting Panels
• No experience required. Open a photo, launch the Auto-Painting Panels and prep, auto-paint, and restore details with ease.

Clone Source
• Use the Clone Source Panel to open the clone sources of your choosing, change size and shape if desired, and paint from the embedded opaque or transparent images.

Clone Brushes
• These brushes are built to grab and paint. Choose the Cloners brush category and any brush variant and paint direct from the photo.

Painter Signature Brushes

Image Hose
• Artfully spray the objects of your imagination onto the canvas. Paint your own custom hose or choose from the included library to quickly populate your canvas.

Particles
• Physics-inspired brushes that spring, flow, glow, and gravitate onto the canvas, offering a large number of creative possibilities.

Pattern Pens
• These brushes produce visionary strokes incorporating exciting patterns. Choose from the existing library or create your own pattern to paint with.

Texture Source Blending
• These brushes seamlessly blend the texture source directly into your rendered 3D output, or let you paint with full control over the texture color, luminance, location, and distortion.

Composition Tools

Divine Proportion and Layout Grid
• Use guides & grids based on classical composition, creating a sense of proportion that guides the eye of the viewer across a painting.

Mirror Painting & Kaleidoscope
• Create a symmetrical painting by allowing Painter to create a mirror image by reproducing brushstrokes on the opposite side of the canvas or multiple reflections of mirror planes.

Perspective Guides
• Display non-printing Perspective Guides to create objects that give the impression that they are receding, or vanishing, from view.

The Joy of Painting

Videos: Paint Like Bob Ross Tutorials
• Recreating Bob's Wet-on-Wet Technique is now even easier when you paint on a digital canvas using Bob Ross approved digital brushes.
