I love to paint landscape


Here another my early simple painting while first time using ArtRage. Its so simple just paint like you used traditional painting tool that you have in your possession, thats if you love painting. Either watercolour or oil base painting you can mess around with it until you satisfied. I'm not really proud of the painting above, but just only for example for you to motivate and keep learning the trade of using ArtRage. I'll think you can do more better than me..Okay.

My first Simple Painting with ArtRage


Well, above is my first simple painting while I drooling with ArtRage for first time. While getting
used to the style of the tools and workspace. I found it its very easy to draw and to accessing all the tools, although its very hard to control the brush precisely using a mouse namely if you get used to used real brushes, but with a little bit of practice I'll think you can.
As I said before there is another alternative, Artrage supported Wacom Tablet, with this tools
you can draw more easily like a real drawing on a canvas, I'll think, because I never have a an
opportunity to try one!. So what are you waiting for try it, I'll think you love it, that's if you love
drawing!.

Simply ArtRage!

This simple painting above is paint and draw using ArtRage 2.0, the first free edition. ArtRage 2.0 is very simple, stylish, and fun painting package that gives you realistic tools in an easy to use interface. Paint with oils, sketch with pencils, chalks, and crayons, sprinkle metallic glitter on your paintings and more. ArtRage 2.0 also supports multiple transparent layers, PSD files, layer blend modes, and a variety of other features for the professional artist. Although its fun to used, I'll think its best if you use Wacom Tablet to draw and and paint if you can afford one. For me I can't afford one so I used my mouse intensively. Now in version ArtRage 2.5 Starter Edition is free and can be download at no cost.

Photofiltre - Simple Image Editor


Photofiltre is a freeware program , that means you can download for free, although its a basic and simple to use image editor but for me the most important its suit my pocket well. I can't
afford well, those expensive Photoshop although it has more power and tool in her disposal.

This image retouching program allows you to adjust an image and apply filters. Filters allow you to adjust brightness, contrast, dyed, saturation, gamma correction, and also artistic filters include watercolor, pastels, Indian ink, pointillism and puzzle effect. PhotoFiltre uses two types of selection tools. The first type uses automatic shapes - rectangle, ellipse, triangle, rhombus. The second type is a lasso and polygon tool. They both allow a customized form by drawing a shape by hand or using a series of lines. Every selection can be saved as a separate file.


I have try every freeware program available and also bought one commercial program that cost
around 160 Bucks, we'll see it later. By the way here another of my painting using Photofiltre.

I love to draw using a computer

One of the reason I bought a computer in 1986 is to used it for drawing. Although at that time computer a limit to 8 colour but its a milestones for me to appreciate a digital drawing for a first time. Then when I got my first 16Bit computer with a 256 colour in palette thats Commodore Amiga 500, although its having 16 million of colours only 32 available for drawing. But it didn't deter users come out with amazing fine arts and drawing!. Nowday Amiga is obsolete and I myself didn't have any of its drawing left in possession, all gone for good. Now in PC era you'll can get a drawing or painting program at no cost at all. Although you can buy the best one in the market but its sufficient to used the freeware or program that company allowed for its distribution. For a starter, my drawing shown up there using a freeware program called a Photofiltre its a basic image editor but for me its okay.
