Explore a wide variety of painting styles, brushes and photo effects that let you create an authentic, hand-painted look every time.

It’s the most natural way to show your unique personality and style.Ĭorel positions Essentials 5 as an affordable natural media application for the consumer market, allowing users the choice of either applying presets to an existing image (think Impressionist Painting and Watercolor Sketch) or beginning with a blank page. But the program provides enough functionality that it should also be able to meet the needs of many designers. For example, it provides 32 levels of Undo, allowing creatives to be free to explore different artistic directions, with little fear of losing earlier work. The application also supports the Photoshop PSD file format, making it possible to integrate Essentials within an existing workflow. There are a lot of different paper textures to choose from, so you can make your drawing appear as if it was sketched on plain paper, watercolor paper, canvas, or any number of surfaces. There are a lot of different brushes to choose from, which will give your lines texture and fluidity. Examples include: watercolor, acrylic, oil, chalk, airbrush, etc. There are also blenders, which you can use to smooth two colors together, or simply to smooth your lines or add shading, much like you’d use a tortillion when drawing with pencil or charcoal. The translucency and color blending is quite realistic. If you swipe an orange airbrush over a blue section of your drawing, it blends the two colors, just as would happen in real life.

You don’t get solid blue crossing solid orange. You’d better brush up on your color theory!Ĭorel Painter Essentials 5 makes it easy to create amazing art at any skill level. Easily sketch, draw or paint on a blank canvas with award-winning Natural-Media brushes that are custom selected for beginners.
