Watercolor - Experiment with paint that will flow, mix, absorb and evaporate just like the real thing. Pastel - Choose from hard variants that reveal texture to soft media that glides on to cover just when you need it. Particles - Physics-inspired brushes spring, flow and glow as they dynamically embellish your canvas.

Sargent - Some of the most beloved brushes in Painter result in luscious strokes in the spirit of John Singer Sargent. Liquify - Artfully apply the brush effects of your choice to create fantastical elements in your art. Airbrushes - Paint with brushes that respond to angle, bearing, and flow data from a stylus, allowing for a truly realistic brushstroke.
