1.    Natural-Media® that mimics reality

Immerse yourself in the largest selection of Natural-Media brushes and canvas textures on the market. Craft your masterpiece with stunning reality using authentic dry media like chalks, pencils and pastels, or realistic wet media tools including NEW thick paint, acrylics, palette knives, pens, watercolors, and so much more.

2.   Signature Painter media types

Create out-of-this-world art with Image Hoses that spray the object of your choice, along with Particles that spring, flow and glow. Make an unforgettable mark with Visionary Pattern Pens that command attention with multilayered brushstrokes, and Texture Source Blending brushes that seamlessly blend the texture source directly into your rendered 3D output or painting.

3.    Smart photo painting

Convert favorite photos into breath-taking paintings using the powerful cloning and photo-painting tools in Painter® 2018. Clone your images by dipping your brush directly into the photo or letting the Auto-Painting palette rapidly paint a photo using your choice of brush and media. Produce incredible photo art with ease using the powerful SmartStroke™ brush technology that follows lines and contours from within your picture.

4.    2.5D painting perfection

Apply new voluminous Thick Paint to pile, push, carve, scrape, and blend the ultimate brushstrokes. Paint with stunning 2.5D texture that lifts off the canvas. Import a 2D rendering of a 3D model and use source blending to brush on thick scales, pores or nubby texture. Or, paint direct onto your canvas to add alluring character to your art. Finish things off by skillfully adjusting the ambient surface lighting of the painted result to really make your canvas shine.
