ArtRage mimics real life art tools and media, and it does a fantastic job of it.ĪrtRage 3 keeps the same ArtRage interface, but improves on it.
If you are familiar with Painter, Painter Essentials, or Dabbler you will be familiar with ArtRage. Find out about the different features here: įor those not familiar with ArtRage, it is a natural media painting program for the Mac (and Windows).
Pro is twice the price of Studio, but it comes with a lot more features for the professional artist and is well worth the price. Just like previous updates, it keeps on improving.ĪrtRage now comes in 2 flavors: Studio and Studio Pro. Well, I am thrilled to be writing a review of the newly released ArtRage 3. It has also become a standard in my art classroom on my iMacs and my students love it. Since that time I have reviewed ArtRage 2 and ArtRage Deluxe for MyMac and each new version has made ArtRage better and better. It's like working on a real canvas, there's no need to understand digital processes to get a realistic result.Īlong with the natural painting tools ArtRage provides a range of utilities that make it easier to create artwork, including Rulers and Stencils, Tracing and Reference Images, Paint Symmetry, and many other systems that add a touch of digital convenience to the creative process without getting in the way.In November of 2005 I first wrote about ArtRage. The Paint Tube and Palette Knife let you work with bold, thick pigment and heavy texture, and a variety of other painting and sketching tools complete the artistic toolkit. The Watercolor tool creates delicate blends and wet merged strokes as you paint. The Oil Paint tool lets you smear and blend paint on the canvas, tracking the volume of paint and how wet it is so that strokes interact realistically with existing media. Ever wanted to try oil painting but not had the equipment and been worried about the mess? Or perhaps you're an artist with a computer but no desire to learn complex new tools in a digital environment or a digital artist wanting a touch of real media? By providing a set of painting and drawing tools that simulate familiar, real world tools ArtRage lets you try out a wide range of different artistic styles in a single, easy to use application.ĪrtRage provides 20 painting tools that come with a wide range of settings and presets allowing you to create many more unique variants.
