Escape Motions releases Rebelle, a revolutionary watercolor & acrylic painting application.

Paint tools that emulate analog art tools

Rebelle’s painting tools that emulate analog art tools

Rebelle is a one-of-a-kind real watercolor and acrylic painting program created by Escape Motions. Its watercolor simulation is based on a real-world color mixing, blending, wet-diffusion, and drying.

Here’s what Escape Motions has released about Rebelle today:

Rebelle convincingly mimics the way natural media interacts with the canvas and itself. Users can paint, smear, re-wet dried colors, blow wet washes across the paper, tilt the paper to create water drops and runs and create countless fantastic watercolor effects. Moreover, its various wet tools – watercolors, acrylics or ink pen can be combined with pastels, pencils or any other dry media tools, in wonderfully intuitive ways. It’s the closest a digital tool has ever come to the flow, spontaneity, and feel of traditional materials. With its unparalleled organic feel, it is a one of the must-have’s for every artist’s digital toolbox.

Rebelle is available for Windows and Mac OS for $59.99 from May 28th 2015 on Escape Motions’ website. Mac App Store edition will be available soon.
