description Corel Painter Overview

Corel Painter is the veteran of digital painting software, known for its incredibly realistic simulation of traditional art materials. From thick impasto oils to dry charcoal and watercolor, Painter offers a level of brush fidelity that is hard to beat. It is designed for artists who want to bridge the gap between traditional and digital art. While it has a complex interface, the results it produces are often indistinguishable from physical media.

It remains a favorite among fine artists and illustrators who prioritize the 'feel' of the brush above all else.
