ArtRage is the best at simulating real media but as with most digital painting apps, I find it difficult to paint accurately with it. Its rotating brush is extremely annoying and to be honest, I've never understood why anybody wants to simulate real media rather than take advantage of everything digital has to offer. When I paint with any medium, I'm not trying to make it look like any medium - I'm just trying to paint a good picture. Of course it will look like a particular medium - the medium that it is. Having said all that, if you are enjoying it, carry on and have fun!

Quite possibly. I had it when bought my Wacom bamboo a few years ago now. Maybe it's worth me trying again with 4.

thats pretty stunning K1T

Thanks akky - all the credits to the program developers.
Now I'm getting really good at it (setting customized shortcuts is helping too)
Traced a few photographs turning them into the oil paintings, not bad for a starter.
Will share someday
