![]() The result may push the boundaries of your imagination, but it’s not random. Amazing too! You can even see the bits of wet pigment collecting at the edges of textured brush strokes. Ever wanted to glaze an oil painting with watercolor? It’s possible in Rebelle. Rebelle has uniquely created a space where you can readily apply real-world skills and still explore many supernatural possibilities. You can even set your brushes to remove paint with each stroke! Click again and the same brush that realistically applied and mixed paint now just smudges and smears it. It too comes with added magic: click and your brushes get cleaned automatically between strokes, or not, and they carry traces of each previous color. As of this year, it includes the near-tactile experience of oil paints, reproducing their characteristic profile from matte to glossy and from fine translucence to thick impasto. Switch on-the-fly to more opaque colors and the paints begin to act like gouache, light yellow covering up even dark blue shades.Įven if watercolor is not your medium, Rebelle has plenty to offer. Now try it with Rebelle’s transparent watercolors and the paint acts as a glaze with richer hues emerging from each subsequent layer. When yellow meets blue, naturally the result is green. It’s not just in the paint dynamics where Rebelle gives you new powers. And when your work is done and ‘dry’, you can decide to keep going – erase, or undo, or re-activate the paint again, and again. Use a ‘Blow’ tool to encourage or direct drips and spread. See the effect when you dry one area but not another. Apply water and work wet on wet, watch how much the pigments bleed. Imagine the possibilities! Rebelle gives you similar control over its realistic brushes and papers. They behave just like the real thing, except in this virtual world you can pause, stop or even reverse the paint’s natural progression. It is magic realism and augmented reality!Ĭonsider Rebelle 4 watercolors. It’s more even than an art-making simulation. ![]() That’s exactly Rebelle 4! An award-winning paint and drawing program that’s far more than colored brush strokes and filters. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could have the best of both worlds? A digital tool that reproduces the serendipity of real media but keeps it firmly under your control? The trade-off is that you forgo your favorite medium’s nuance, and mystery, and inspiration. Indeed, most graphics programs help you realize a specific artistic vision because they’re entirely predictable. It may even be the reason you chose to go digital. It’s a common enough experience in real-world art-making. Sometimes this opens up new possibilities, often it just leads to frustration. If you paint with watercolors – or with any media really – you probably know how this feels: you get a piece to where you want it and well, it keeps going!
