ArtRage

ArtRage is a fantastic piece of software. It’s a really interesting piece of art software that offers features not seen in other low cost solutions. It has lots of different art tools – brushes, pencils and even palette knives – and the beauty is that they operate like the real thing. Unless you reload your brush you can’t make a stroke on your canvas. It’s really cool.

From the website:

ArtRage 2 has 12 painting tools, each one designed to work like its real world counterpart (minus the smell of paint thinners, the dirty fingers, and that bit of glitter that you just can’t get out of the carpet). ArtRage 2 tools have properties that can be adjusted to get different effects. Add thinners to your oils, make your felt pens wet tipped, or soften your crayons up before use.

Download the free version here.

Another cool feature is the ability to load a photograph or image and use the differnt tools to paint or draw the image. You can get some amazing effects!

ArtRage is available for both Macs and PCs and the interface is exactly the same on b oth platforms. You can get a free version or pay $19.95 (US) and get the full version.

One of the grooviest things about ArtRage is the fact that it’s made by Kiwis. Better than that it’s made by Westies. What could be better? Only the fact that they are willing to allow schools to play just $1 (+GST) for each licence. This means that schools have access to top quality software at a totally affordable price.
