Rebelle
Rebelle is wet media and watercolor simulation software designed to bring authentic-looking paper based art to the digital world, no mess required. The company behind the software, Escape Motions S.R.O., which is based in Piestany, Slovakia, has also released Flame Painter, which allows the user to create detailed particle-effect art; Amerlight, which makes art from computer generated algorithms; and Inspirit, which creates kaleidoscope and mandala art. The company is the recipient of the Platinum Award in the 2016 Hermes Creative Awards, Imagine FX Artist's Choice award, the PC Revue Editor's Choice Award for Uniqueness, the Best in Class Award from 3D World, and the Mac Informer Editor's Pick.

Imagine cutting out all of the excess features of Photoshop and streamlining it into a software that is specifically designed to create beautiful, simulated painted works. That's pretty much the gist of Rebelle, which allows the creation of fast, convincing paint art on a digital platform. The software uses drying, wet diffusion and real world color blending to make the art as realistic as possible without all the mess of a home studio. Rebelle comes equipped with lifelike brushes and a custom brush engine. Just like in real life, the artist can "tilt" the canvas, make it wet, dry it off or even "blow" on the paint to achieve surprisingly authentic results. Those who remain unconvinced can try the software right now on the web for free. After that, the full version is available for a one time payment of $90.
I have to say that anyone trying to get my attention away from Artrage had a challenge on their hands. But Rebelle did it! It is just like painting with real media in watercolor, which is my favorite painting medium. Rebel is absolutely fabulous.
Rebelle is a miracle! In short, it feels more alive, like I have a partner in my image creation and quest for creative expression.
