The screenshot below shows all available selector windows open.Īll commands can also be executed from the menu. A second monitor is extremely useful in this regard. These selectors have their own windows that are independent of the canvas window, so they can be dragged and positioned anywhere on the screen. However, if you prefer to keep a few commonly used selectors permanently open next to your canvas, you can do so. These then go away as you continue working. These windows can be brought into view with a click or key press. You can change brushes anytime you want from a couple of drop down windows, change brush settings such as the brush’s thickness, opacity and hardness as well as brush color.
You pick a brush and work on your canvas with nothing else visible. The idea is to be able to paint away with as few distractions as possible. MyPaint’s interface is deliberately kept minimalistic and fully controllable by keyboard shortcuts. MyPaint one ups Corel Painter over price, being entirely free and open source to boot. What makes MyPaint (and Corel Painter) so special is it can accurately simulate the appearance and behavior of traditional media associated with drawing and painting such as watercolor, oil, chalk, charcoal, brushes and pencils, allowing artists to create art from scratch. The name of this program seldom gets mentioned outside the circles of digital artists, unlike Adobe Photoshop, which is almost as ubiquitous as Microsoft Paint, thanks to rampant pirating (hey, did you know you can grab Adobe Photoshop CS2 for free, and legally?).Ĭorel Painter and its open source replacement MyPaint are raster graphics editors, as opposed to Adobe Photoshop which is an image manipulation program, although the latter can by used to create digital paintings. You may have heard about Corel Painter, or you may have not, which is entirely okay. MyPaintis a free and open source painting program specialized in creating digital art, very similar to what Corel Painter is capable of.
