A simple tool that’s fun for
beginners and experts alike,
Rebelle will show you why you
fell in love with painting
for you to paint onto as well as a selection of great
brushes, and though Rebelle isn’t the most versatile
program out there, the features it does boast are top
quality. Rebelle might be a program you use to paint in,
or just experiment; it’s a powerful tool either way, and
one that lets you get closer to real life. Combined with
the editing and adjustment abilities of Photoshop, it will
take you even closer to the holy grail of digital art,
creating a look that’s virtually indistinguishable from
the real thing.
