Paint Studio is a product born from TwistedBrush Pro Studio but with a focus on natural media painting and drawing with a simpler, streamlined interface. Internally the same great TwistedBrush brush engine is used. TwistedBrush Pro Studio is feature packed but if you want a stripped down version for painting and drawing with a new slick interface then Paint Studio is for you. Paint Studio strips away complexity and what remains is the very best natural media brushes available as well as the key features that have always made TwistedBrush great.
Natural Media Paint Brushes
Paint Studio includes a selection of the best natural media brushes from the Pro Studio package for easy access for the digital fine artist: Acrylics, Airbrushes, Blenders, Charcoals, Crayons, Erasers, Markers, Masking brushes, Nu Media, Oil Paints, Oil Styles, Palette Knives, Pastels, Pencils, Pens, Watercolors and more! Import more brushes from the Pixarra online community or save your own created brushes with ease. Paint Studio 4 comes also with different brush modifiers – shapes, rotation, sizes, textures, colors and brush effects.
Clean User Interface
Paint Studio, as all of Pixarra’s focused Studio products, has a clean interface, designed for an easy, quick work flow. Dark and lighter color themes are available. The Color Management panel and the Brush Shortcut Panel are two panels you will use a lot. All the panels in Paint Studio will automatically hide if they get in your way while painting. The Quick Command panel gives you a configurable array of buttons you can keep close at hand while working. Resize and reshape the panel to your needs. Add, remove and move buttons to create the layout that works best for you. Quickly show or hide the panel with the [F4] hotkey. Right click to edit a button or add one to an empty slot. [Ctrl] + click to drag a button to a new location. As an added bonus there is some functionality exposed in the Quick Command panel that isn’t available anywhere else in Paint Studio.
Powerful Brush Effects System
Since User ArtSets are available you might be thinking where will you get new brushes from. There are a number of ways, user shared brushes in the Pixarra forum, brushes imported from Pro Studio, OR now you can edit brushes right in Paint Studio with the powerful Brush Effects system from Pro Studio. There are over 500 different effects that can be combined in 28 effect layers with each effect processed with 100’s of modifiers. I think it’s safe to say the Pixarra brush effects system makes for the most powerful brush engine in existence. Evidenced in the ability to draw simple lines or fully detailed tree with the same engine with a single stroke as can be seen in Tree Studio.
