Unleash your creativity! Paint and draw with tools that work just like the real thing.

ArtRage is a digital artist’s studio with a full range of familiar tools that look and work like the real things. It’s a canvas for thick, expressive oils and delicate watercolors, a sketchpad with a full set of pencils, and a sheet of paper with a stack of wax crayons all in one.

  • Smear and blend thick oils to create natural color gradients.
  • Sketch with pencils and shade with the edge of the tip.
  • Create delicate watercolor strokes that react to canvas texture.
  • Use photos as References while painting.
  • Work with Guides, Grids, and Perspective Layout tools.
  • Features Layers, Blend Modes, and other industry standards.

With a wide range of traditional tools and powerful digital utilities, ArtRage is the perfect creative tool for anyone, kids to adults, amateurs to professionals.

Collaborative painting with a friend

Through your PaintLink account, work with your tools and layers as normal – your friend sees your changes, and you see theirs. Swap ownership of your layers if you want. Stop and resume collaborative painting sessions freely – collaboration and layer information is saved with your projects

User-defined blending profile

Real color blending can now use your own color-mixing profile – create collections of color blending profiles to match the paint medium. Color mixing profiles can be scripted, and sent to friends through PaintLink messages.

Share content with a friend
